Elise,
How fast will the changes occur? Inattentional Blindness and/or Change-
Blindness (as well as Change-Blindness-Blindness*) may come into play.
In short, people will be unable to detect gradual changes in
brightness. Tons of research out there...
See "Gradual Changes to Scenes" for demos of gradual changes in color
and gradual changes in brightness (adding/deleting objects):

*Change Blindness Blindness: When armed with an understanding of
Change Blindness, most people still believe they will be able to
detect the changes.

My team has received a request from the mechincal engineering team
to help
them understand how the human eye perceives relative brightness of
light.
Specifically, how sensitive is the human eye to changes in brightness?
An initial literature search on ACM & Google did not yield results.
Can
anyone recommend any articles or other resources, or does anyone
know about
related research on this topic?
