Common Questions

What is the average human reaction time?

The average visual reaction time to a simple stimulus is approximately 250 milliseconds. Elite athletes and gamers may achieve speeds between 150-200ms.

Can I improve my cognitive processing speed?

Yes, neuroplasticity allows the brain to adapt. Regular practice with reaction time tasks and n-back memory training can improve synaptic efficiency and processing speed.

What is the Stroop Effect?

The Stroop Effect is a demonstration of interference in the reaction time of a task. It shows that processing the meaning of a word (e.g., reading 'RED') is faster and more automatic than identifying the ink color (e.g., green ink).

Quantifying Mental Throughput

Cognition is not a single trait but a collection of executive functions. Our cognitive battery is derived from established psychological paradigms used in clinical and research settings.

We measure:

  • Processing Speed: Measured via simple and choice reaction time tasks (SRT/CRT).
  • Inhibitory Control: Tested using the Stroop Effect to measure the ability to suppress automatic responses.
  • Working Memory: Assessed via Digit Span and spatial recall tasks (Chimp Test).
