We are seeking participants for an online graphical similarity 
experiment for Japanese. We need a wide range of participants, including 
non-speakers of Japanese, second-language learners, and native speakers. 
The experiment takes about 20 minutes to complete, and can be found at:

http://www.foks.info/experiment

The aim of this experiment is to determine how likely learners of 
Japanese are to mistake one kanji for another at a glance. Since actual 
error data is difficult to come by, this experiment instead collects 
graphical similarity judgements from learners/speakers of different 
backgrounds and proficiencies.

More details can be found on the experiment's web page. Please take a 
few minutes to participate.
