Welcome to the Leaping Lagomorphs Software Page





Description
Leaping Lagomorphs (Copyright © 2013 Daniel Goldreich) is a convenient stand-alone freeware program that implements the Bayesian observer model described in the paper: Goldreich D, Tong J (2013) Prediction, postdiction, and perceptual length contraction: a Bayesian low-speed prior captures the cutaneous rabbit and related illusions. Frontiers in Psychology 4:221. The program was written by Daniel Goldreich using LabVIEW (Copyright © 2013 National Instruments Corporation. All Rights Reserved).
