Phosphene Thresholds

Phosphenique Phosphene: stimulation of the optic nerve or retina producing a flashing sensation in the eye. They are a result of rapidly changing magnetic fields and occur at threshold field changes of 2­5 T/s which, at the edge of the gradient field can just about be reached with the modern high slew rate gradient systems.
