Abstract

The validation of any new model of the human response to flicker requires proper experimental data. Recently, studies have been carried out with the intent of achieving information relevant to the state of annoyance of a human being subjected to light flicker by analyzing the modification of the pupil size. Indeed, it is well known that pupil diameter changes according to the luminous flux variation. According to such a theory the authors developed a measurement system capable of tracing the pupil size variations in time under flicker conditions. This will result of help for further developing the above theory and confirming its correctness and robustness. The presented measurement system will allow measuring the pupil diameter when subjected to flicker with given amplitude, frequency and colour. The technique and the relative system will be examined through the description of some tests executed to evaluate its performance. The good behaviour of the measurement system suggests its future employment for the analysis of flicker effects on human beings.
