What do Dogs see when they watch TV? + more videos | #aumsum #kids #science #education #children

Dogs don’t see what we see. This is because of flicker fusion rate.

For humans, the flicker fusion rate is more than 55 times per second. Thus, television sets show 60 images per second, helping us perceive a smooth continuous video.

However, dogs process visual information much faster, processing 70 to 80 images per second. Hence, the TV might appear to flicker to dogs.

Also, dogs have dichromatic vision, that is, they can only see within the spectrum of yellow and blue. Thus, images on TV might appear as a meaningless yellowish-blue jumble.

Further, dogs are seen to respond more to sounds like barking, meowing etc.
