How to know the suspect are telling you the truth

a recognition psychology experiment implement by using unity

What is Guilty Knowledge Test ?

The Guilty Knowledge Test (GKT), also known as the Concealed Information Test (CIT), is a psychological assessment technique used to determine whether a person has knowledge of crime-relevant information that only the perpetrator would know. Unlike traditional polygraph tests, which attempt to detect lies based on physiological responses to direct questions about the suspect's involvement in a crime, the GKT focuses on identifying the recognition of specific details of an event or activity by measuring physiological responses to multiple-choice questions, each containing one option that is relevant to the crime (the "probe") and several neutral, irrelevant options.

the following is the tutorial part to explain how to reproduce this experiment

About

This Experiment is an implementation of guilty knowledge test (GKT) . it utilize VR (virtual reality) and pupil lab (Eye Tracker) to let experimenter know where is subject looking at but without the subject's awrareness.

Setting Environment


Add HTC Add-on to your vive

  1. Step 1 : Remove head strap.
  1. Step 2 : Extend depth adjustment.
  1. Step 3 : TAKE HTC Vive apart a bit more so we can show a close up view.
  1. Step 4 : Closeup of the add-on engagement with the lens holder.
  1. Step 5 : Resemble it
  2. Next install the htc vive sdk

HTC vive installation

you can follow up this tutorial or just open the environment setting at SteamVR

HTC Vive setting

please take a look at official tutorial from VIVE

pupil lab capture

Because most of core function of this program is based on the Pupil capture service you will need to open pupil capture and make sure you have already correctly connect HMD Add-on directly to computer.

Checking Device

Before step into experiment, there something you need to prepare In this section you will need to check if all the device has settele down.

  1. Step1 : finished the HTC Vive environment setting
  2. Step2 : open the pupil capture software to get connect with.

if you haven't finish the environment setting you can back to the 『Setting Environemtn』section

Use Custom Setting

In this page you can custom the experiment setting including almost every detail . If you broke the setting and don't remember the original version, don't worry there are four features you might want to use

How to set custom visual target

first you need to know is the name is matter, each folder means each trial of experiment each image have a position in visual target

  1. Folder name would affect order of experiment visual_path (1).jpg Please Remember the folder name should start with "Trial" ,The computer only reconize the folder which name is start with "Trial" !!! these will determine the order of visual target set that subject see
  2. Image is sort in alphabetical order The image name is also important. Because the position of visual target that subject see in the vr is depend on the order of image img_path.jpg take example : the mapping positions of Assets/StreamingAssets/Visual_target/Trial1 is like below img_sort.jpg

Key point :

  1. the order of folder : In alphabetical order.
  2. the image name influence order and the order influence image position
  3. Currently only support "png" format image

I'll develop more image format in the future plese look closely if there is any error in the Visual Target Preview it will not record if the image number is incorrect

Experiment

  1. page intro :

At this page you can check the time sapn with (time bar) and the view what the subject see also the eye frame visualizer.

  1. Weak Eye and Strong Eye :

In this preview the left eye is weak eye and right eye is strong eye. Weak Eye has four visual target and will automatically start fade in when FadeIn Stage start , Strong Eye has only one video which is mondrian video (produced by this project have a look if you need some mondrian video sources)

the visual target image source can change by modifing the visual target path at setting page the mondiran video source can also change by modifying the mondiran path at setting page both can be found at StreammingAssets path

  1. Experiment Stage :
  1. Record Data Structure as long as you click start experiment button , the system will automatically generate a experiment setting . feel free if you want to cutomize every setting for your subject

Program overview

the program can be split into three parts

  1. GKT-Experiment : control the experiment process
  2. GameManager : Control the UI Event and the interface between GKT-Experiment and GUI Page
