How Gorilla supports visual perception researchers

Visual perception research demands fine-grained control over visual stimuli, accurate timing of presentation and response, and the ability to test perception under carefully controlled conditions.

With Gorilla, researchers can build image- and video-based perception tasks, visual search paradigms, recognition and categorisation studies, and multisensory experiments - all without writing code.

Gorilla provides the experimental control, timing accuracy, and scalability needed to study visual processing reliably online.
