Human Eye
4 Answers
What is the frame rate of the (normal) human eye? I would have thought it didnt have one but sometimes when you look at cars wheels they do seem to be rotating backwards (i do know why this occurs).
Does it also have a resolution (my guess would be not but if it did, it would be interesting to know)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.ah but (microfish) that is not quite true - the signals from the eye are sent to the brain via nerves - electric impulses (in effect a digital signal) and therefore there must be some form of frame rate. Correct me if i'm wrong but you see the "strobe effect" (which is what we're talking about here) when looking directly at a propellor blade winding up on an aeroplane? in daylight? I am not precisely sure about the medical breakdown of the eye but these facts would point to it having a frame rate. opinions welcomed.
