dcterms:description "Photo Threshold of Awareness Function" is the smallest amount of light the human eye can detect for a stimulus subtending a \(1^o\) radial angle at the eye. Because detection is governed by temporal summation (Bloch's law), within the critical duration the threshold is reached when luminous energy — luminance integrated over time — attains a constant value, so the quantity is expressed as a luminous energy (lumen second). Where the presentation duration is instead held fixed, the same threshold may be reported as a light level, i.e. a luminance (candela per square metre) or illuminance (lux).
