The computer code relates to human nature studies and more specifically to a novel graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates high-efficacy collection of perceptual similarity opinions of a user in an effective and intuitive manner. The GUI presents a base image for rating its similarity to seven peripheral images that are displayed simultaneously following a circular layout. The user is asked to report the base image's pairwise similarity to each peripheral image on a fixed scale while preserving the relative ranking among all peripheral images. The collected data are then used to predict the user's subjective opinions regarding the perceptual similarity of images.
