What This Trains
Stimulus recognition, click timing, decision speed, and recovery after missed or early reactions.

Visual vs Audio vs Touch Reaction Time
Research consistently shows that reaction times differ by sense. For most people, audio reactions are fastest (~170ms), followed by touch (~155ms on the skin), and visual being slowest (~250ms) due to the additional processing required in the visual cortex.
Scientific Averages
- Visual (light): ~250ms average — slowest due to visual cortex processing
- Audio (sound): ~170ms average — auditory cortex processes faster
- Touch (vibration): ~155ms average — somatosensory cortex is highly efficient
Note: The touch test here measures button-press reaction to a visual cue simulating a vibration prompt, as true haptic feedback requires device capability.
How To Use It Well
Take several attempts instead of trusting one result. Reaction time varies with sleep, caffeine, hardware latency, and focus.
Best For
