Abstract
Ss judged the brightness of a flickering spot which moved along a circular track around the fovea. Perceived brightness was a decreasing curvilinear function of the length traversed during the intermittency of flicker. This function tended to be more linear as the duration of intermittency increased. These results are related to the linear positive function between CFF and the velocity of the flickering moving spot.
