And since I don't have an fMRI sitting around my room, I seriously doubt this will be able to test my reaction time. My movement time is pretty average though.

All this will show is some people trying over and over again to get lucky with their timing.

when I click on a mouse, my score is around 200~ but when I press a button on a controller, my score is around 180. Weird. The action of clicking may introduce significant lag.

On another computer, i was in the 180 range

On this computer I'm 240 (wtf?!?)

anyways I know I have fast reaction time IRL so I'll trust the 180

[Anonymous No.3634115]

average like 209

No, I just clicked without actually seeing green and got lucky that green popped up as I clicked.

That's the way this shit works. Usually, unless it's proctored by someone who knows what they're doing, tests like these are abused to the max to throw the data off.

>implying this is reaction time and not hand eye coordination

this would only be reaction time if you were reading the "click" from a brain-computer-interface, aka directly at the neuronal level.

[Anonymous No.3634666]

>>3634660
All traditional reaction time tests are like this with a physical input. Of course, in real tests, they are standardized unlike this one where people may have different mice/latency/monitors. Tests like these were used to determine its correlation with g (general intelligence).

Got one where I wasn't eating and got 244, but my mouse is a bit sticky. When eating, it was like 265.6.
>Multi-tasking increases reaction time by 10%.

[Anonymous No.3634678]

>>3634666
Standarizing the input doesn't remove you from the fact that you have to go through another fundamental layer (i.e. movement) in the brain to measure "response time".

You cannot measure g-factor for an individual with this unless you are measuring the respone time at the neuron level. Using a standaridzed mechanical response time only gives you the standard "g-factor" for the test participants.

I'd like to see this study done with an fMRI with a temporal resolution of at least 20ms

[Hiker Ridley !!aOI+P2yfoXL No.3634705]

>>3634086
Yep... On a controller, mine drops to 140 ms which is faster. My mouse has mega-lag.

[Anonymous No.3634717]

God-Tier 280ms male reporting in. Elevated levels of estrogen in males is linked to high intelligence. Testosterone is linked to low reaction time, thus the better your score, the lower your intelligence.

It looks like sci is full of high testosterone males who are clearly unintelligent.

In the U.S. the same results are observed. Asians have the shortest reaction time, blacks the longest.

psychology.uwo.ca/faculty/rushtonpdfs/pppl1.pdf
The same pattern of average scores on these and other reaction time tasks (i.e.,
East Asians faster than Whites faster than Blacks) is found within the United
States. Jensen (1993) and Jensen and Whang (1994) examined the time taken by
over 400 schoolchildren ages 9 to 12 years old in California to retrieve over-
learned addition, subtraction, or multiplication of single digit numbers (from 1 to
9) from long-term memory. All of the children had perfect scores on paper-and-
pencil tests of this knowledge, which was then reassessed using the Math
Verification Test. The response times significantly correlated (negatively) with
Raven Matrices scores, whereas movement times have a near-zero correlation.
The average reaction times for the three racial groups differ significantly (see
Figure 2). They cannot be explained by the groups’ differences in motivation
because the East Asian children averaged a shorter response time but a longer
movement time than did the Black children.

i got better the more i tried it. first click was over 300 second was about 280, 3rd was around 250, 4th was about 232 and my last click was 227. i started over and it went back up to 280 then i left. go figure.
