25.2: Distinguished Student Paper: How Color Break-Up Occurs in the Human Visual System: Mechanism of Color Break-Up Phenomenon

Abstract

The mechanism, how color break-up (CBU) is perceived by viewers in images produced with a field-sequential projector/display, was considered. We measured the perceived position of the CBU during saccadic eye movements with a static stimulus and flash stimuli. Results showed that CBU was not a merely locus of the stimulus on retina during fast eye movement because width of CBU was narrower than eye movements, and that CBU is perceived similar to the compressed images which appear during saccades. Large inter-individual differences in perception of CBU were also found.
