Abstract
The case of alternating stimulus patterns of moderately high intensity is considered in terms of the model previously discussed (Landahl, 1957,Bull. Math. Biophysics,19, 157–62). If both of the alternating patterns have the same light-dark ratio, then the relation between the period of the longer and the period of the shorter pattern at the critical flicker frequency is independent of the light-dark ratio and is given by a dimensionless expression which is roughly in agreement with data in which the light-dark ratio is one (C. R. Brown and D. M. Forsyth, 1959,Science,129, 390–91).
