Visual stimulation is a form of perceptual stimulation, the stimulation of the visual system. Psychologists have studied a number of ways of providing such input:

• Dichoptic stimulation
• Prismatic stimulation
• Stereoscopic stimulation
• Tachistoscopic presentation
• Visual displays

The input can be varied along a number of dimensions to explore the characteristics of the system

• Color
• Illuminaton
• Linear perspective
• Spatial frequency
• Temporal frequency
