ReactionTester Research

Reaction time, measured carefully.

Evidence-based explanations of human reaction time and browser measurement. We separate peer-reviewed evidence from our own observations, describe limitations, and link to the underlying sources.

How we publish

Sources first

Scientific claims link to peer-reviewed papers or primary research sources whenever possible.

Measurement ≠ diagnosis

Browser reaction tests measure performance under a particular setup. They are not neurological or medical tests.

Limits stay visible

Display, input hardware, browser timing, attention and task design can all influence a recorded score.
