The first hit from Google:
The human eye is very sensitive but can we see a single photon? The answer is that the sensors in the retina can respond to a single photon. However, neural filters only allow a signal to pass to the brain to trigger a conscious response when at least about five to nine arrive within less than 100 ms. </quote> http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Quantum/see_a_photon.html http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Quantum/see_a_photon.h...
