The first tachistoscope was originally described by the German physiologist A.W. Volkmann in 1859. It was also used during WWII in the training of fighter pilots to help them identify aircraft silhouettes as friend or foe. Before Computers became ubiquitous, tachistoscopes were used extensively in Psychological Research to present visual stimuli for controlled durations. Some experiments employed pairs of tachistoscopes so that an experimental participant could be given different stimulation in each Visual Field . Tachistoscopes continue to be used in market research, where they are typically used to compare the visual impact, or memorability of marketing materials or packaging designs. Tachistscopes used for this purpose are typically still based around slide projectors rather than computer monitors, due to (1) the increased fidelity of the image which can be displayed in this way and (2) the opportunity to show large or life-size images.
