Hey guys, I'm new here, so please go easy on me if this has already been asked/answered elsewhere! I did a search but it didn't turn anything up. I need some advice on what the human threshold for visual detection is in terms of stimulus duration. i.e. if I flash a word on a screen for 100ms will I be able to determine what word it was say 80% of the time? Can anyone direct me to any literature on this (again, I've done a search on ScienceDirect/PsycInfo/PubMed etc but couldn't get quality info). Cheers! Tl;dr - What is the shortest time I can flash a word on a screen, and people will be able to correctly report the word 90% of the time?
