How to speed up the perception of a person? ( more than 25 frames per second )

+0
−0

The response time of the human visual channel in a relatively quiet state is approximately 40 milliseconds, which provides a" frame rate " of 25 frames per second. At the same time, it is not just images once every 40 milliseconds, it is an average light perception over this period.

This is due to the fact that the image in the consciousness of animals is formed from a set of light flashes, which are fixed by the eyes and combined in the visual cortex into a complete image. People have an average of 60 flashes per second (24 frames ). The speed at which these images are processed is called "flash merge speed", a measure of how quickly you need to turn on and off the light to make it seem continuous. Tests have shown that the fastest flies respond up to 400 blinks per second! ( 6 times more than humans ) The Problem is that the fly's Eyes have evolved to perceive light through a set of tiny, string-like structures arranged horizontally along the path of light in the eye. These structures "mechanically" react to light, while in vertebrates they are " chemical ". Therefore, it is likely to use the following option for "imitation", a study of the vision of a small bird "Flycatcher Parsley" showed that they are able to distinguish the blinking of light in 146 times/

My question is: what modifications and improvements will improve perception ? ( for example, up to 200-300 frames per second )

I need only "biological" improvements (additions) of genetically modified (engineering) people. Therefore, no cyborgs, implants, magic and aliens. ( don't worry about improving the speed of processing information with your brain, I only need improvements to the visual system (eye))
