In the context of optometry. I can't seem to find a formal definition anywhere.
Temporal modulation refers to the changes or fluctuations in a signal or phenomenon over time. It is a measure of the rate at which a signal changes or repeats itself.
Temporal modulation is typically measured in terms of frequency, which represents the number of cycles or changes per second in a signal. It can also be measured in terms of modulation depth, which is the degree of change in a signal over time.
Temporal modulation is an important aspect of perception, as it can influence how we perceive and interpret sensory information. It is particularly relevant in the perception of visual and auditory stimuli, where changes in frequency or modulation depth can affect our perception of color, brightness, pitch, and volume.
Temporal modulation is commonly used in research to study the processing of sensory information and to understand how the brain interprets and responds to different types of stimuli. It is also used in fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and engineering to develop new technologies and treatments related to perception and communication.
Yes, temporal modulation can be manipulated through various means, such as altering the frequency or amplitude of a signal, or introducing different types of stimuli. This can have significant impacts on how we perceive and respond to sensory information, and can also be used to explore and understand the mechanisms underlying perception and cognition.
