Introduction
Thanks for your interest in participating in an online experiment. These
experiments below will take only a few minutes of your time and provide us with
valuable scientific data that will help us better understand how the brain
processes visual information. Your time is greatly appreciated! Also, please tell
your friends about these experiments using the automatic emailer below!
If you have questions about this study you can call or email the Principal
Investigator Dr. Ernst Niebur at 410-516-8643, niebur.edu. If you have

Experiments
There are two online experiments that will each take about 10 minutes to
complete. You may choose one or both experiments.
Change Blindness: Search for objects within livingroom scenes.
This experiment is very fun and particularly challenging. It is kind of like
finding Waldo in the "Where is Waldo?" pictures.
Time : approximately 10 minutes
Note : This experiment can take more time than 10 minutes, but that all depends on how fast you can find the objects!
Image Cropping: View a number of artificial and natural scenes.
Time : approximately 5 minutes
Note : See feedback at the end of the experiment about how you performed compared to other participants!
