Our experiments

The ACME Group members regularly conduct experiments in the field of vision and attention research and we would be delighted to see you as our participants.

Participation in our experiments is totally voluntary and you may, at any time, opt out of the study without any penalty and explanation.

Participants are rewarded monetarily. If you are an undergraduate student of the School of Psychology at HSE, you may choose a credit instead of a monetary reward. Also, you will get cookies and a unique chance to learn more about Cognitive Sciences, Neuroscience, eye tracking, visual perception, and attention.

To take part in our experiments, you must be over 18 years old, have normal or corrected to normal (glasses or contact lenses) vision and have no history of severe neural or psychiatric disoders. Your handedness, gender, nationality, and language (as soon as you understand Russian or English) do not really matter.

There is a number of experiments going on or ready to be launched:

• In October – November 2017: A behavioral (without eye tracking) experiment on object identification at Armyanskiy pereulok 4/2. This experiment lasts 20 minutes. In order to participate in this study, please fill in this doodle form. Finished.
• In June 2017: A behavioral (without eye tracking) experiment on spatial attention at Volgogradsky prospect 46B (10 minutes by foot from Tekstilschiki station). This experiment lasts 30 minutes. Finished.
