Visual discomfort and flicker [PDF]
Vision Research, 2017 Flickering lights can be uncomfortable to look at and can induce seizures in observers with photosensitive epilepsy. However, the temporal characteristics contributing to these effects are not fully known.

Uncomfortable images produce non-sparse responses in a model of primary visual cortex [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 The processing of visual information by the nervous system requires significant metabolic resources. To minimize the energy needed, our visual system appears to be optimized to encode typical natural images as efficiently as possible.

A Wider Look at Visual Discomfort [PDF]
i-Perception, 2012 Visual discomfort is the adverse effects reported by some on viewing certain stimuli, such as stripes and certain filtered noise patterns. Stimuli that deviate from natural image statistics might be encoded inefficiently, which could cause discomfort ...

Trypophobia, skin disease, and the visual discomfort of natural textures. [PDF]
Sci RepIn the last decade, the behavioral sciences have described the phenomenon of trypophobia, which is the discomfort felt by some individuals when viewing images containing clusters of bumps or holes.

Support for the efficient coding account of visual discomfort. [PDF]
Vis NeurosciSparse coding theories suggest that the visual brain is optimised to encode natural visual stimuli to minimise metabolic cost. It is thought that images that do not have the same statistical properties of natural images are unable to be coded efficiently

Sensory sensitivity and visual discomfort are not associated with altered gamma oscillations: A test of the excitation-inhibition hypothesis. [PDF]
Imaging Neurosci (Camb)Many people experience aversive hypersensitivity (discomfort/visual stress) to stimuli such as bright lights, striped patterns, strobing, motion or complex visual scenes such as supermarkets.

Excessive Neural Responses and Visual Discomfort [PDF]
i-Perception, 2014 Spatially and temporally periodic patterns can look aversive to some individuals (Wilkins et al, 1984, Brain, 107, 989-1017), especially clinical populations such as migraine (Marcus and Soso, 1989, Arch Neurol., 46(10), 1129-32) epilepsy (Wilkins, Darby

How Visual Discomfort Is Affected by Colour Saturation: A fNIRS Study
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2022 The wide colour gamut displays have improved the viewing experience greatly. However, highly saturated colours may also bring problems such as visual discomfort.
