Afterimages: A collective term for percepts of different origin. Gerrits, H. J. M., Van Erning Th, L. J. O., & Eijkman, E. G. J. Experimental Brain Research, 72(2):279--286, 1988. 00000
Paper abstract bibtex Exposure of the eye to a strong photoflash results in a so-called 'afterimage', which may last for 20 min or longer. In contrast, the true afterimage, which fluctuates in brightness and is best seen in complete darkness, lasts only a few minutes. This true afterimage can be attributed to the strong oscillatory neuronal responses immediately initiated by the flash. Thereafter dark and light regions, insensitivity percepts, are observable against bright and dark backgrounds, respectively. These percepts can be adequately explained by a reversal of the response behaviour of rod and cone driven ganglion cells situated along the contour of the flash-exposed area. The slow recovery of the rods explains why insensitivity percepts can be seen for many minutes.
