IMMERSE at UCLA · In collaboration with Dr. Zeiger

Remote research,
closer to home

MotionSense brings the Random Dot Motion paradigm to participants' phones — no lab visits needed. Researchers get live data, participants get flexibility.

Live simulation of the random dot motion task

A student-led initiative by IMMERSE — Immersion in Medical Education, Research, Science, and Empathy — at the University of California, Los Angeles.
About MotionSense

Built for Parkinson's research

A validated clinical tool bringing laboratory-grade perceptual assessments into participants' homes — removing barriers, improving longitudinal tracking, and advancing our understanding of Parkinson's disease.

Remote assessment

Participants complete validated perceptual tasks from home on any mobile device — no lab visits required.

Longitudinal tracking

The investigator dashboard gives real-time access to session data, CSV exports, and performance trends over time.

Secure enrollment

Coordinators enroll participants with auto-generated study IDs and one-time passwords. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
