Table 3 The collective representation of habituation and sensitization for high, medium, and low contrasts, considering the flashing disc’s frequency (in Hz) and different angular distances (in degrees). A red arrow represents habituation; a blue arrow represents sensitization, and a gray arrow represents neutral to low habituation. Changes between the first (vF: first stimuli for the setup, given, given in %) and the last (vL: last stimuli for the setup, given in %) stimulus display are shown in the ch (change) column given in %, while the average value of the disc visibility in the m column (mean) is given in %. The setups with a habituation/sensitization effect with a change above 10% are marked with bold font.
