Hypotheses on the Symmetry between Vision and Hands

Experiment Participation Information

Thank you for your interest in our hypotheses regarding the symmetry between vision and hands.

In this experiment, we will measure the ability to transmit information from vision to the brain and from the brain to the hands using a game. We will also verify the improvement in this ability through repeated trials.

The game involves controlling two hands, one with your left hand and the other with your right hand, to reach the goal on the stage. The hands can change their movement direction, jump, and run.

While the game is primitive, controlling two characters independently with separate hands may cause significant stress to participants. Please do not continue the experiment if you find it too stressful, and take breaks as needed.

* Features Included in the Game Used in the Experiment

• Top-down view action

• Action that can be frustrating

• Brain training

Game Rule 1: Character Control

In the game, you will control a male hand with watch connected to the red line with your left hand and a female hand with bracelet connected to the blue line with your right hand. You will use their movements to progress through the stages.

Game Rule 2: Goal

Each stage in the game has a goal. The red circle represents the male character's goal connected to the red line, and the blue circle represents the female character's goal connected to the blue line. Reaching the goal will advance you to the next stage.

Game Rule 3: Gimmicks

There are gimmicks corresponding to each color.

Try interacting with them using the hand of the same color.

We look forward to your participation in the experiment.
