Hi everyone,Thanks much for the fascinating and helpful discussion and links on this, here and in the Slack forum. Daniel Pressnitzer, Paul Egré, and I at the ENS in Paris have created a quick 5-minute online experiment about this phenomenon, and we're trying to get as many responses as possible. We'd be very grateful to anyone who could help us out by participating and/or spreading the link around:Thanks!Jackson Graves2018-05-17 7:16 GMT+02:00 Megan Kittleson <mkittles@xxxxxxxxx>:Hi Everyone,Anyone interested in discussing this in more depth?
