Editing Stroboscopic effect (section)

== Beneficial effects ==
Stroboscopic principles, and their ability to create an illusion of motion, underlie the theory behind [[animation]], [[film]], and other moving pictures.

In some special applications, stroboscopic pulsations have benefits. For instance, a [[stroboscope]] is tool that produces short repetitive flashes of light that can be used for measurement of movement frequencies or for analysis or timing of moving objects. An automotive [[timing light]] is a specialized stroboscope used to manually set the [[ignition timing]] of an [[internal combustion engine]].

Stroboscopic visual training (SVT) is a recent tool aimed at improving visual and perceptual performance of sporters by executing activities under conditions of modulated lighting or intermittent vision.<ref>Luke Wilkins, Carl Nelson, Simon Tweddle, Stroboscopic Visual Training: a Pilot Study with Three Elite Youth Football Goalkeepers, J Cogn Enhanc (2018) 2:3–11, DOI 10.1007/s41465-017-0038-z</ref>
