Next question. If the background illumination of a room were blinking at 40Hz (Eg florescent light bulbs on 40Hz AC power), would that interfere with my visual perception? If not why not?

It probably would, because i believe objects blinking at 40hz facilitate certain motor responses. "In addition, it has been shown in humans that stimuli which flicker at gamma frequencies are processed faster by our brains than when they flicker at different frequencies" [1] I'm super curious whether 40hz line AC might not be healthier for aging populations. Or 80hz.
