Reaction Time Test

The Reaction Time Test measures how quickly you can respond to a visual stimulus. This tests your visual processing speed and motor response time.

Here's how it works:

1. The screen will initially show red with a "Wait for green" message
2. After a random delay (1-5 seconds), the screen will turn green
3. Click as quickly as possible when you see the green color
4. Your reaction time in milliseconds will be displayed
5. The test consists of 10 rounds to calculate your average reaction time

This test measures simple reaction time, which is the time taken to respond to a single predetermined stimulus.

Reaction time is the interval between the presentation of a stimulus and the initiation of a response. It involves several cognitive processes:

Visual Processing: Your eyes detect the stimulus and send signals to the visual cortex.

Decision Making: Your brain processes the information and decides to respond.

Motor Response: Signals are sent to muscles to execute the physical response.

Average human reaction time for visual stimuli is around 250-300 milliseconds. Professional athletes and gamers often achieve times under 200ms through practice and training.
