A HYPEREFFECTIVE VISUAL SIGNAL FOR NIGHT DRIVING WARNING DEVICE

THE ENHANCEMENT OF RETINAL SENSITIVITY IS DISCUSSED IN RELATION TO HUMAN PERCEPTION. THE TWO CONTRAST PARAMETERS- LUMINANCE AND TIME-ARE INDEPENDENTLY SUPERIMPOSED ON THE RATE OF ITERATION OR REPETITION. THE INTERACTION OF THESE TWO PARAMETERS OF VISUAL PERCEPTION WERE MEASURED, AND THE PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF THESE MEASUREMENTS ARE PRESENTED.
