Response time rating criteria
Response time test: key factors influencing neuroreflective speed
Response time is the gold indicator for the efficiency of treatment of the nervous system. The process involves complex nervous networks, from sensory to irritation, brain-processing signals, to muscle execution. This test helps you to know exactly how you react.
Scientific measurement methods
Use of this tool
performance.now()
API provides a millisecond accuracy timer, far from
Date.now()
More precise. To obtain accurate results, it is recommended that 5-10 tests be conducted to take average results rather than single results.
Who needs to focus on response time?
- Driver: Response time directly affects brake distance and accident risk
- Athletes: The difference between the milliseconds in the ball and the fight is the difference.
- Electric contestant: The gap between 150 ms vs 250 ms in the FPS game is quite significant
- Older persons: One of the key indicators for monitoring cognitive health
- Medical practitioners: Some diseases affect the speed of neurotransmission.
Scientific methods for increasing response time
Research in Japan found that 30 minutes of aerobic motion per day could increase visual reaction time by about 12 per cent within eight weeks. In addition, targeted response training (as in this tool) can significantly improve the speed of operational response through the optimization of the "expected mechanisms". The key is to keep the routine of training, not to hit occasionally.
