Bewegungs Detektor

This is a little application to learn and visualize the principles of the famous
elementary motion detector (EMD) proposed by by B. Hassenstein and W. Reichardt
(1956). For leraning/teaching purpose it offers the option to do a black box
analysis from pure input/output behaviour observation (you may need an
additional sheet of paper and a pencil to solve this). 
This software was created by Ulrich Beckers and is mainly intended for
eductional purposes. The program supports English (default) and German.


History

V2.0 released on 16-Mar-2016
- new: option for a 2nd visual stimulus
- new: changeable password

with flicker input)
