Many different experiments are included natively in the toolbox (in particular you can run the experiments from all our previous studies). We also conducted a replication of a 50-year-old experiment to demonstrate the versatility of the toolbox.

The toolbox is also designed to be as “plug-and-play” as possible, allowing researchers unfamiliar with the reverse-correlation approach to easily apply it to their own research questions. Finally, fastACI is open source, supporting transparent, replicable, and computationally reproducible research.

By integrating all these options within a consistent and flexible framework, the fastACI toolbox enables, for the first time, systematic comparisons across different configurations.

However, these studies have differed substantially in both their experimental implementations and their analysis pipelines. This lack of standardization has made it difficult to compare findings across studies and has limited reproducibility.

Auditory reverse-correlation is a powerful "ear-tracking" technique: it reveals which acoustic features participants rely on while processing (noisy) sounds, using nothing more than a computer and a pair of headphones.

How about in this case?
Surprisingly, most people *predominantly see 180° motion*, while 360° motion is hardly, if ever, perceived – even though the rings move in the same way as above!

Thanks in advance!
(The final experiment will be on native English speakers only, but for the pilots we are including any people willing to participate!)
