Abstract :
A noninvasive flicker fusion device to measure impairment due to alcohol or other drugs is discussed. The flicker fusion uses an array of light-emitting diodes and is based on identification. It operates slightly below threshold frequencies and requires a subject to distinguish between patterns of modulated lights and constant background lights
