Abstract
Evidence of facilitation of response has been found in psychometrically determined critical fusion frequencies to flicker at low contrast. Spatial summation is denied by the distribution form of the data. Temporal summation within a determined time limit is supported. This may be mediated through association cells at the bipolar-ganglion synapse.Keywords
