Flicker Fusion Threshold

/ˈflɪkər ˈfjuːʒən ˈθrɛʃoʊld/noun
ELI5 mode

The flicker fusion threshold is the minimum frequency at which a flickering light appears steady to the human eye, essentially the point where our visual system can't detect rapid changes anymore. This concept plays a key role in modern technology, like screen design and lighting, where exceeding this threshold prevents discomfort and mimics natural vision more effectively.
