What is Multiple Object Tracking?
MOT measures your ability to track several moving objects simultaneously among distractors — a key visual attention skill used in sports, driving, and any situation requiring you to keep tabs on multiple things at once.
How it works:
- Press Start Test (or Space) to begin
- Several circles appear; some flash gold — those are your targets
- After the flashing stops, all circles look identical and start moving
- Track the targets mentally as they move among distractors
- When movement stops, click the circles you think were targets
- Press Submit (or Enter) to lock in your answer
- Press Pause (or Space) anytime during tracking — the canvas is hidden while paused
Settings:
- Number of Targets: More targets = harder
- Distractors: More distractors = harder
- Total Trials: Length of session
- Tracking Time: How long the objects move before you select (Advanced)
