The human aversion response and blink reflex behavior is different for LEDs and low power laser

In lab and field trials volunteers have been irradiated with a laser beam or an LED in order to stimulate the blink reflex. In order to observe the stimulation of aversion responses like head and eye movements the volunteers have been irradiated in a second test series with free moveable head.
