Evaluation of critical flicker-fusion frequency measurement methods using a touchscreen-based visual temporal discrimination task in the behaving mouse.

•Mouse critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF) was estimated by behavioral performance using an operant system.•Two different types of psychological methods were employed, the ascending method of limit and method of constant stimuli.•We estimated the mouse CFF to be about 14 Hz.•Our results highlight the usefulness of the operant conditioning method for measuring mouse visual temporal resolution.
