{{Further|Motion perception}}
The temporal sensitivity and resolution of [[human vision]] varies depending on the type and characteristics of visual stimulus, and it differs between individuals. The human [[visual system]] can process 10 to 12 images per second and perceive them individually, while higher rates are perceived as motion.<ref name=Read2000>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jzbUUL0xJAEC&pg=PA24 |pages=24–26 |last1=Read |first1=Paul |last2=Meyer |first2=Mark-Paul |author3=Gamma Group |title=Restoration of motion picture film |publisher=Butterworth-Heinemann |year=2000 |isbn=978-0-7506-2793-1 |series=Conservation and Museology}}</ref> Modulated light (such as a [[computer display]]) is perceived as stable by the majority of participants in studies when the rate is higher than 50&nbsp;Hz. This perception of modulated light as steady is known as the [[flicker fusion threshold]]. However, when the modulated light is non-uniform and contains an image, the flicker fusion threshold can be much higher, in the hundreds of hertz.<ref>{{citation |pmc=4314649 |title=Humans perceive flicker artefacts at 500&nbsp;Hz |author=James Davis |year=1986 |pmid=25644611 |doi=10.1038/srep07861 |volume=5 |journal=Sci.

Multiple stimuli that are very short are sometimes perceived as a single stimulus, such as a 10&nbsp;ms green flash of light immediately followed by a 10&nbsp;ms red flash of light perceived as a single yellow flash of light.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Conservation of temporal information by perceptual systems |author=Robert Efron |journal=Perception & Psychophysics |volume=14 |issue=3 |pages=518–530 |doi=10.3758/bf03211193 |year=1973 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
