In this data set you find 3 files containing data from Experiments 1, 2 & 3 of Veto P, Einhauser W & Troje NF (2017) Biological motion distorts size perception. Scientific Reports, 7, 42576; doi: 10.1038/srep42576 The data are freely available for academic use only. If you use these data for a publication, please cite the aforementioned article. If you have any questions regarding the data, please do not hesitate to contact Peter Veto at vettop@gmail.com Each row of the files contain data from one trial. Columns: Experiment 1 1 - Participant number 2 - Block number 3 - Trial number 4 - Target orientation (1: Upright; -1: Inverted) 5 - Stimulus width 6 - Stimulus height 7 - Response width 8 - Response height Experiment 2 1-8 Same as Experiment 1 9 - Condition: dynamic (1) or static (2) target Experiment 3 1 - Participant number 2 - Block number 3 - Trial number 4 - Walker orientation (1: upper walker upright, lower walker inverted; 2: upper walker inverted, lower walker upright) 5 - Condition (1: upper target larger (21%) than lower target; 2: upper target larger (10.5%) than lower target; 3: target sizes are identical; 4: lower target larger (10.5%) than upper target; 5: lower target larger (21%) than upper target) 6 - Inter stimulus interval (from end of walker presentation to onset of target circles) (1: 17ms; 2: 100ms) 7 - Response (1: upper target was larger; 2: lower target was larger)
