TL;DR: Results of both experiments did not indicate the painted blades of UH-1 helicopters to be a source of flicker vertigo.
Abstract: : Painting the main rotor blades of UH-1 helicopters led to the question of the possibility of flicker-induced vertigo in formation flights involving these helicopters. In the first of two experiments designed to answer the question, subjective responses of 38 instructors and students were obtained and evaluated after their participation in formation flights in helicopters with painted blades. In the second experiment, 10 student pilots were screened from a group of 37 on the basis of their psychophysiological and subjective responses to photic stimulations in the laboratory. These ten then flew in formations while EEG, EOG, and eye blink data were recorded during the flight and they were debriefed immediately following the flight. Results of both experiments did not indicate the painted blades to be a source of flicker vertigo. (Author)

TL;DR: The possibility of achieving an objective evaluation/prediction of the physiological effects induced by flicker is investigated using a new imaging method based on the pupil size determination, which is also compared with the blood flow analysis in the choroid.
Abstract: Light flickering at a rate of 4- 20 cycles per second can produce unpleasant reactions such as nausea and vertigo. In this
paper, the possibility of achieving an objective evaluation/prediction of the physiological effects induced by flicker is
investigated using a new imaging method based on the pupil size determination. This method is also compared with the
blood flow analysis in the choroid.

17 Jan 2018TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a system for reducing vertigo flicker caused by a notification appliance, which can include the notification appliance measuring an ambient light level, the notification appliances determining whether the ambient lighting level is lower than a threshold, and notification appliances activating a flashing light source after activating the constant light source.
Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing a risk of vertigo flicker caused by a notification appliance are provided. Some systems can include the notification appliance measuring an ambient light level, the notification appliance determining whether the ambient light level is lower than a threshold, the notification appliance activating a constant light source responsive to determining that the ambient light level is lower than the threshold, and the notification appliance activating a flashing light source after activating the constant light source.
