Nonlinearity that enables the perception of counterphase flicker

J Opt Soc Am A Opt Image Sci Vis. 2022 Jan 1;39(1):28-31. doi: 10.1364/JOSAA.438897.

Abstract

Counterphase flicker is perceptible consequent on the nonlinearity between each retina and binocular fusion. This paper models that nonlinearity in terms of the radio reception technology of the early twentieth century. The nonlinearity is probably realized in the retinal ganglion cells.
