We'd love you to join us in an exploration of your senses.
We want thousands of you to take part
in the Perception Census. A set of interactive tasks and questions
exploring how you experience the world and yourself within it.
Perception is the process
by which the brain interprets the information coming in through
the senses, to create our unique experience of the world. Whether it's the light
that reaches the eyes, or the pressure waves in the air that reach the ears.
Through perception, we're able to experience a vivid world
filled with colours, shapes, objects, sounds and more...
and we experience ourselves as occupying a central role within this world.
Understanding how perception works has occupied scientists and philosophers
for centuries, and there's still plenty we don't know.
One key question is about something known as perceptual diversity.
Just as we all differ from the outside, we all differ on the inside too.
The Perception Census will help us understand much more about
the similarities and differences which exist between us,
and by taking part, you'll help us understand more about how
the unique way in which we each encounter the world, shapes our lives and who we are.
The Perception Census is made up of several sections.
We'd love everyone to complete the Fundamentals of Perception first,
and then you can choose which of the other sections you'd like to do next.
Each section won't take long to complete, and all you'll need is your own computer.
Do as many, or as few, sections as you like.
It's up to you, and the more you do, the more valuable the research becomes.
There's no need to do everything in one sitting.
You can return to the census as many times
as you like and will keep track of your progress.
Thank you for contributing to this research.
We want you to know that every person
taking part really does make a massive difference, and we hope you'll enjoy
learning more about your particular way of making sense of the world.
