Abstract

On the basis of previous knowledge of the photosensory behavior of Mya it is shown that Talbot's law for the effectiveness of stimulation by intermittent illumination should be valid. Two series of measurements are reported in which the photosensory effects of intermittent and continuous illuminations are compared. The results demonstrate the validity of Talbot's law for Mya.
