7/end Thank you so much to those who’ve already joined in! I hope many more will now do so – and any help spreading the word would be amazing too - let's make this last push to Oct 31st really count 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 perceptioncensus.dreamachine.world

6/ If you’ve already started the Census, now’s your chance to finish it off. While every participant really helps, people who complete all ten sections are especially valuable - and they get a special certificate too! 🤓

5/ You can do as much or as a little as you like, and we’ll keep track of your progress, so that you can keep coming back whenever you feel like it

4/ Participation is easy: all you need is your own computer. The Perception Census consists of a series of fun, interactive illusions and tasks exploring many different aspects of perception.

3/ By joining them, you’ll help contribute to a landmark scientific project, and you’ll learn many things about how perception works and about your unique way of experiencing the world

2/ We are closing participation on October 31st, so that we can start analysis. Already more than 30,000 people from over 100 countries have taken part 🌎

1/🧵 Do you see what I see? Don’t miss the chance to participate in #ThePerceptionCensus – a unique, large-scale study of ‘perceptual diversity’ – the differences in how we each experience the world. There’s not long left 🏃🏽‍♀️ perceptioncensus.dreamachine.world
