Assessment of Alertness and Cognitive Performance of Closed Circuit Rebreather Divers With the Critical Flicker Fusion Frequency Test in Arctic Diving Conditions [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Introduction: Cold water imposes many risks to the diver. These risks include decompression illness, physical and cognitive impairment, and hypothermia. Cognitive impairment can be estimated using a critical flicker fusion frequency (CFFF) test, but this

How does cognitive function measured by the reaction time and critical flicker fusion frequency correlate with the academic performance of students? [PDF]
BMC Medical Education, 2020 Background The reaction time (RT) is “the time taken for the appearance of rapid voluntary reaction by an individual following a stimulus, either auditory or visual” and the Critical Flickering Fusion Frequency (CFFF) is “the rate at which successively ...

From eyes' microtremors to critical flicker fusion. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe critical flicker fusion threshold (CFFT) is the frequency at which a flickering light source becomes indistinguishable from continuous light. The CFFT is an important biomarker of health conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy, and is ...

Assessing the Relationship Between the Flicker Test and Cognitive Performance [PDF]
BiologyAn individual’s ability to process flickering light is expressed by critical flicker fusion frequency (CFFF), tested with the flicker test. CFFF is used to assess visual processing, arousal, and cognitive functioning, among other things, although it is ...

Potential biological and ecological effects of flickering artificial light. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Organisms have evolved under stable natural lighting regimes, employing cues from these to govern key ecological processes. However, the extent and density of artificial lighting within the environment has increased recently, causing widespread ...

Visual Neuroplasticity: Modulating Cortical Excitability with Flickering Light Stimulation [PDF]
Journal of ImagingThe balance between cortical excitation and inhibition (E/I balance) in the cerebral cortex is critical for cognitive processing and neuroplasticity. Modulation of this balance has been linked to a wide range of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative ...

Critical flicker fusion frequency: confounders and caveats
European Journal of Applied PhysiologyAbstract Introduction Critical flicker fusion frequency (cFFF) measures visual perception, with higher values indicating better performance. It is widely used to assess the effects of breathing gases in diving and hyperbaric environments.
