*** General introduction ***
This dataset contains data collected during a Virtual Reality experiments at Delft University of Technology, as part of Arco van Beek's PhD project.
The experiments took place 15 May 2024 until 2 June 2024. It is being made public both to act as supplementary data for publications and the PhD
dissertation of Arco van Beek and in order for other researchers to use this data in their own work.

If someone wants to use the data, ensure to cite the corresponding author (A. van Beek) and the following publication:

*** Description of the data in this data set ***
The dataset is separated into two separated files: 'Brightness_Maze' and 'Color_Maze'. Both files represent the choices made by all participants
in the Virtual Reality experiment. The participants encountered 10 T-intersections with varying brightness levels of the lights; these choices are 
presentend in 'Brightness_Maze'. Thereafter, they encountered another 10 T-intersections, but now with varying light colors, these choices are
presented in 'Color_Maze'.

Description of columns in data set 'Brightness_Maze:
* 'Experiment': Identifier for the experiment, either part of the brightness experiment (B) or the color experiment (C).
* 'ID': Unique identifier for each participant within the experiment, with corresponding IDs across both experiments.
* 'Area': Identifies the T-intersection (1 is first T-intersection, 2 is second T-intersection, etc.)
* 'Condition': Identifies the general condition to the participant at that specific intersection, corresponding to 'Condition L' and 'Condition R'.
* 'Condition L': Identifies the light condition on the left path of that specific intersection.
* 'Condition R': Identifies the light condition on the right path of that specific intersection.
* 'Choice': Indicates whether participants went left (0) or right (1) on that specific intersection.
* 'Chosen': Indicates the light condition of the chosen path on that specific intersection.
* 'Avoided': Indicates the light condition of the avoided path on that specific intersection.
* 'Gender': Identifier for the gender of the participant; male (0), female (1), non-binary (2), prefer not to say (3).
* 'Level': Identifier for group, there were four different groups (i.e., different orders of specific light conditions).
* 'Bright path': Indicates which path of intersection was more bright than the other.

Description of columns in data set 'Color_Maze:
* 'Experiment': Identifier for the experiment, either part of the brightness experiment (B) or the color experiment (C).
* 'ID': Unique identifier for each participant within the experiment, with corresponding IDs across both experiments.
* 'Area': Identifies the T-intersection (1 is first T-intersection, 2 is second T-intersection, etc.)
* 'Condition': Identifies the general condition to the participant at that specific intersection, corresponding to 'Condition L' and 'Condition R'.
* 'Condition L': Identifies the light condition on the left path of that specific intersection.
* 'Condition R': Identifies the light condition on the right path of that specific intersection.
* 'Choice': Indicates whether participants went left (0) or right (1) on that specific intersection.
* 'Chosen': Indicates the light condition of the chosen path on that specific intersection.
* 'Avoided': Indicates the light condition of the avoided path on that specific intersection.
* 'Gender': Identifier for the gender of the participant; male (0), female (1), non-binary (2), prefer not to say (3).
* 'Level': Identifier for group, there were four different groups (i.e., different orders of specific light conditions).
