CAD-generated stereograph of the mechanism. This is a parallel stereogram at 4 degrees. View the model with depth perception by relaxing the gaze until a central overlapping image appears, much like a "Magic Eye" random dot autostereogram. You can also view a higher-detail cross version , for which the eyes should be crossed. CAD model generated using SolidWorks. Stereogram by Steve Collins.



Illustration of the experimental setup. Tests were performed in the Human Neuromechanics Laboratory at the University of Michigan. See attached articles for details. Image by Steve Collins.
