Acuities were based on the ability to detect a handheld light. When a Ganzfeld or photographic flash was used, all subjects were capable of seeing light. The eye requiring higher light levels to achieve perception was deemed less sensitive. VA, visual acuity; NLP, no light perception; LP, light perception.
