Nyquist frequency and our observations of reality

[rawfflecakes]

this is really interesting you're awesome

[InfiniteOneOfficial]

FUCK I'M HIGH. Good stuff man!

[MakaveliDaDon777]

nice findings thanks for the info 5 stars

I like your way of looking at things, I like aussies too.

fairdingcom mate :)

Do I spell it right ? :))

I had a lot of fun with aussies sking at Whistler a long time ago. Don't know why there is something in common between you and us... Colonialism ? Christianism ? Maybe wre just Zionist targets ? lolll

I wanted to say that if I remember wright the neurons respond at roughly 1-2 KHz but the DELAY is used to make us ear sounds at 15-18 KHz.

See the single electron interference

I wonder how much the flicker rate can vary.

I'm pretty sure my flicker rate improved over the years and I started to see things "flicker" that shouldn't flicker at all.

Is there any software to test this?

[gadzometer]

Not sure Nopiw. I reckon there would be some software. It may vary at different time though. Like when you are tired or after you had 3 cups of coffee. I'd be interested to know if you find something.

[Nopiw]

I found a method to test the flicker rate.. a LED on a wave generator.

I don't have a wavegen at the moment, but I can either use my soundcard or build a small astable trigger circuit. we'll see

Funny thing is my flicker rate depends on color (I think). If I watch TV (50Hz, Europe) I can clearly see the white areas as alternating black and white, while a green area right next to it is just green. My friends and family say, they can't see the it... I couldn't see it either some years ago.

[gadzometer]

Colour is related to frequency so you could be onto something there. In fact, I just read the abstract by a study that said exactly that. Apparently the brightness also effects it. I couldn't find an online test which would be nice.

[911allo]

yes but there is no way a neurone could even know the frequency, it's just that the wavelenght is of the proprer energy to trigger the sensor which is very very much slower then a neural circuit.

We react to the amplitude modulation in fact, which can be too fast for us anyway.

Just to say that their is a carrier frequency, like AM radio at 800 kilohertz carries voice from 30 Hz to somthing like 10 or 20 KHz.

[911allo]

Light is around 1000 GigaHz. Receptros of different colors are just AM at different frequencies or colors.

PS: I rarely drink coffee or things containing caffeine. Just water and orange juice ;)

[astrotometry]

Excellent. This is one of my rants. Nice presentation!

Happy Easter, Gadz.

[gadzometer]

You too buddy.

[FractalInfinities]

I used one in a speed reading class a long time ago, but it only went to 4000 words per minute, which was fast enough for me by the way.... lolz You'll see the effect in a lot of commercials at around 500 wpm or so, normally when they are listing things, like bands playing at an upcoming concert or something. I should make a vid on this. Good subject.

[FractalInfinities]

Good video and questions. But here's one for ya; if the flicker rate is said to be 26-30 frames per second or whatever it is, how come we ca read at 40,50,60 thousand words per minute by tachioscope?

[gadzometer]

Hi mate, I had to google tachioscope to find out what it was and am still a little confused. Have you used one? 1000 words per second is pretty impressive.

[FractalInfinities]

Oh, and there are several speed reading programs that you can download, but truthfully, I don't think the tachioscope the best method of speed reading if that was your goal. Chunking is the way to go imo.
