If i understand the question correctly, you are likeing the human eye to a movie camera. The image your eyes see when you look at something is a continuous flow through to the brain to the best of my knowledge. If this is so, the answer would infinite.

I believe 15. When in danger, our brain boosts it to a max of 30.

As every thing,it varys person to person. Funny thing, Color blind people and animals can detect movement faster because of the rod vs. cone build up of the eye. If youre color blind, you have more light reception and movement is preceived as changing light patterns. To think about it, Any big budget action flick has to be close to 40 fps to keep you from laughing at the special effects. I can tap my finger on the table 7 or 8 times in a second and that sure don't look fast. I swear I can watch a flourecent light bulb flicker, and thats 60 htz (cycles per second). It probibly comes down to what the brain can comprehend in such a short amount of time.

It's not infinite that's I know that to be true %100. When you shake your hand as fast as you can, you see a blurred image because your eye/brain is unable to process the speed, otherwise you would see a sharp image of your hand the entire time. Many scientist debate on what the average fps the eye can distinguish may say around 100-120fps. For more information you can read this article. It will help you to understand everything and give examples. It's actually a well written article. http://www.100fps.com/how_many_frames_can_humans_see.htm

Well from what I have been taught in college, they claim that we only have a FPS of 24. I don't know if I agree with that considering we can tell a huge difference between 24 fps and 100 fps. But I think I would have to agree with Lincoln's Post. :)
