The temporal window of visual processing throughout adulthood by Xianghang He, Xiaowei Ruan, Menglu Shen, Junli Yuan, Cheng Li, Yan Yang, Jinli Zhu, Rong Cui, Rong Cui, Zhong-Lin Lu, Zhong-Lin Lu, Zhong-Lin Lu, Jiang-Fan Chen, Fang Hou

“…Regression analysis revealed that the peak decreased, while the FWHH increased with age, indicating that the temporal window of visual processing became wider and less efficient as age increased. Our cross-sectional study suggests that our ability to process dynamic visual information gradually declines with age in two significant ways: a decrease in peak efficiency and increased vulnerability to temporal disturbances.…”
