Dynamic range is the range between the brightest and darkest detail that the eye can discern.
The human visual system can generally perceive a dynamic range of about 160dB overall.[1]
Dynamic range is affected by chemical changes in the eye and iris changes. Chemical changes happen on the order of minutes, and iris changes happen almost instantaneously.[2]
