I can’t get the two fingers to work because there’s not enough time for the space bar to rebound.
I think I have a disadvantage having not played that many video games in my life. 
Anybody know of any program like this with a mouse? I’m curious how they would compare.
Do you see this game as a fast/slow CNS indicator as well?
That game is net connection dependant I hear
My best is 0.265 avergae is 0.295
Got .235 as legal best. .125 was very questionable. Average is around .25. Is there anything on the internet with a sound?
I think that point about net times might be valid as on this one my average .202:

EDIT: Oh man this one’s awesome:

.152 average on sound 2 . Makes me feel better about my gun reaction times and that I’m not losing time there.
Just as an interesting experiment I had my mom do it. She is more a distance type and she was about .01 slower on average than me, which is not much, so I am not that sure it’s a very good indicator of CNS speed.
yeah I figured this type of reaction time isn’t correlated with nuero-rate.
The explore learning one’s quite interesting, i get 0.23 - 0.25 on sight and 0.16 - .18 on sound indicating my reaction to sound is significantly faster than sight, anyone else get something similar?
I’d have to look at my motor control notes, but I think Herb temporally anticpated at the right time. .14 is very unlikely to be a legit reaction time that could be carryed out over multiple tests.
Landon,
My average is 0.17. When I did track, one thing I knew about my skills was that I had a fast reaction time. I would always loose my first place standing around 10m though. Just poor coaching I guess.
For the tap tester do you need any kind of rest in between if you do it several times? Or can you just do it over and over in succession?
I got .07 on the reflex game, but I’m positive I jumped the gun and got lucky. Since I average about .25
I got a .1308 average on the sound game, but a .216 BEST on the sight game. Supporting research that a reaction occurs quicker to sound than sight?
I got a .2024 average (.19 BEST) on the sight game at this site
(http://www.getyourwebsitehere.com/jswb/rttest01.html) and a .2264 on the sight portion of the sight vs. sound gizmo test. My sound reaction time was HORRIBLE. I got a .494.
My tap tester score was 84 for ten seconds. What does this stuff mean for me people?
so far I have noticed that when my CNS is fresh and on , I can tap 19 (sometimes 20 - once so far) in 2 secs on Taptester. and about 85 on 10secs
When I am tired - 18 is the most I can get no matter how hard I try and 75-80 on 10secs . So I suspect if my CNS is really fried then I won’t be able to crack 17 and 70.
When I get 18 I can still have a good workout and set PRs, but I don’t feel fresh like I do when I hit 19-20.
It is simply a “guide” to let you get a little window on your system. Do the test once a day (if you do it multiple times, you will be “training” and your scores should go up) about the same time. If you drop off ten percent…normally, you do 80, but today you do 71…you might be burning the candle at both ends.
When I use the tap tester, I find that it gives me an early warning in regards to bad workouts. Simply, a drop indicates a bushed nervous system. I used the tap tester to determine that I need “off” weeks NOT easy weeks. Easy workouts were not helping me recover.
It has some good research roots, but it would be hard to find them. The Soviets were playing with a tap test with a pen on paper to determine overtraining just before the fall and two of my friends learned this at a bar. When the wall came down, this got buried…but, the idea stuck around. A couple of years ago, Mike Rosenberg got someone to make this…and he gave it the title “Utah’s Strongest Man,” which will now live on forever.
I am going to pull it down soon, because people are running this thing all over the net and I don’t want assholes making fun of it. Be sure to right click and save it.

What a fun toy. I score a 72 or 73 most of the time. Once last week I scored a 76.
I don’t imagine this is taking skill acquisition and specificity of both movement and of fatigue into account?
If not…then yeah, it might be a useful guideline but as Dan said not the end-all.
