Simulated participant view
A brief tap-based task that measures basic response speed and alertness.
No data is recorded
Single central stimulus with one tap response.
Useful for fatigue, sleep, stress, intervention, and momentary attention studies where repeated low-burden measurement is needed.
Not ideal as a standalone measure of higher-order cognition or in studies that need strong construct specificity beyond alertness and motor response speed.
Use short sessions with practice enabled for first exposure. Keep the response target large and use random interstimulus intervals.
Sensitive to fatigue, distraction, and context. Most informative in repeated-measures designs rather than one-off interpretation.
