Photo Telepathy Test for two subjects

How the experiment works

There are two subjects and one looker. One member of the group registers your group, gives it a name and a password and supplies digital photos of the two subjects. Thus the person doing the registering has to have photos of the two subjects available. These should not be very high resolution images, or they will overload the system. Ideally, images with a 640x480 resolution are sufficient.

All three participants then log on to the experiment at a prearranged time, using the registered group name and password.

In a series of 20 trials, the looker is shown the photo of subject A or of subject B in a random sequence. After ten seconds, both subjects are asked to answer yes or no to the question, 'Was the looker shown a picture of you?'

Each subject can choose whether or not to receive immediate feedback as to whether the guess is correct.

After each 20-trial test, the subjects are told their scores. The chance level is 10.

With feedback, subjects have the chance to learn how to do better, and may be able to increase their scores with practice.
