Abstract
A method and apparatus for triggering the reflex blink reaction of a person using a computer terminal display. Blinking is triggered by a macro shift in the dominant object viewed by the person. The macro shift may be in the form of foreground/background reversal, display color changes, blank screen, etc. caused by hardware switching means or programed ANSI escape sequence changes.
