  2. Temporal light artefacts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_light_artefacts

    Temporal light artefacts (TLAs) are undesired effects in the visual perception of a human observer induced by temporal light modulations. Two well-known examples of such unwanted effects are flicker and stroboscopic effect. Flicker is a directly visible light modulation at relatively low frequencies (< 80 Hz) and small intensity modulation levels.

  3. Chiquihuite cave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiquihuite_cave

    Many of the stones found in Chiquihuite Cave are believed to be artifacts, specifically human-made tools. Almost 30 percent of the tools show signs of usage around the edges. They are made of black and green limestone. The use of limestone indicates human selectivity because of its availability near the cave but not within it.

    Up to about 80 Hertz or the flicker fusion threshold it is called visible flicker. From about 80 Hertz to 2000 Hertz it is called the stroboscopic effect (this article). Overlapping in frequency, but from 80 Hertz up to about 6500 Hertz a third effect exists called the phantom array effect or the ghosting effect , an optical phenomenon caused ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lomekwi

    Lomekwi is an archaeological site located on the west bank of Turkana Lake in Kenya.It is an important milestone in the history of human archaeology. An archaeological team from Stony Brook University in the United States discovered traces of Lomekwi by chance in July 2011, and made substantial progress four years after in-depth excavations.

  7. Flicker (light) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_(light)

    In visual perception, flicker is a human-visible change in luminance of an illuminated surface or light source which can be due to fluctuations of the light source itself, or due to external causes such as due to rapid fluctuations in the voltage of the power supply (power-line flicker) or incompatibility with an external dimmer.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denisova_Cave

    A seven-centimetre (2.8 in) sewing needle made from bird bone, estimated to be around 50,000 years-old, was found in Denisova Cave. [2] The cave also contains stone tools and bone artifacts made by modern humans, and Pääbo commented: "The one place where we are sure all three human forms have lived at one time or another is here in Denisova ...

  9. Flicker fusion threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_fusion_threshold

    The flicker fusion threshold, also known as critical flicker frequency or flicker fusion rate, is the frequency at which a flickering light appears steady to the average human observer. It is a concept studied in vision science , more specifically in the psychophysics of visual perception .
