Melanopic stimulation does not alter psychophysical threshold sensitivity for luminance flicker

Abstract In addition to the rod and cone photoreceptors the retina contains intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). These cells express the photopigment melanopsin and are known to be involved in reflexive visual functions such as pupil response and photo-entrainment of the cir...
