How the experiment works

One of you is the subject, the other the looker. One of you registers your pair, and gives your pair a name and a password, and supplies a digital photograph of the subject. Thus the person doing the registering has to have a photo of the subject available. This should not be very high resolution image, or it will overload the system. Ideally, an image resolution of 640x480 is sufficient. Both participants then log on to the experiment at a prearranged time.

In a series of 20 trials, the looker is shown either the photo of the subject or a completely different  photo, in a random sequence.  After ten seconds, the subject is asked to answer yes or no to the question, “Was you partner looking at a picture of you?”

The subject can choose whether or not to receive immediate feedback after each trial as to whether the guess was correct or not.

After each 20-trial test, you are told  your score. The chance level is 10.

With feedback, you have the chance to learn how to do better, and you may be able to increase your score by practice.
