Gray Matching Experiment from Seeing Statistics

Use the slider to change the intensity of the small gray circle on the right so that it matches the intensity of the small gray circle on the left. When small circles match in intensity, click the "Record Data" button to save your data and present the next trial. There are nine trials, afterwhich your data will be displayed.
