Simple Reaction Time
Neuro-SensomotoricA single signal appears after an unpredictable delay — respond as fast as you can. Measures your mean reaction time, your fastest response, and how consistent you are. Includes a Pair Match mode in the format of cut-e's Reaction Speed test: press only when two symbols match.
Overview
Simple Reaction Time measures the shortest time you need to detect a single, known stimulus arriving at an unpredictable moment and act on it — pure detection speed, with no choice or discrimination involved. Because the signal arrives at a randomised delay, you cannot time it in advance; you can only stay ready and react. The task reports your mean reaction time, your fastest response, and your variability (the consistency of your responses), and it flags false starts and lapses in attention. This exercise follows the classic Deary–Liewald simple-reaction paradigm, and it trains the baseline reaction speed that batteries such as the DLR selection and the Vienna Test System sample in their own formats. The separate Pair Match mode reproduces the format of cut-e's Reaction Speed test (scales rt): two symbols appear side by side and you press only when they are identical, a go/no-go discrimination rather than a simple reaction. The mode's pacing, shapes and scoring are our own design, so expect the real test's presentation to differ in those details.
Assessments
Tested in assessments at FTEJerez.
Could show up in DLR and cut-e / Aon-based selections.

Example: react on the signal
The panel stays dim while it counts down an unpredictable pause. The instant it flashes bright green, press Space (or click) as fast as you can — the sooner you react, the more points you score.
Example: Pair Match mode, press only on a match
In Pair Match, two symbols appear at a time and the pair keeps changing at a steady pace. Press Space or the EQUAL button only when the two symbols are identical. When they differ, do nothing.
Game Phases
Warm Up
Start with 8 practice trials — same mechanics, clearly marked and never scored — so the real run measures your true speed, not your first attempts.
Stay Ready
Keep your eyes on the panel and your finger on the key — the signal comes at an unpredictable moment.
React
The instant the signal flashes, press Space or click. Every millisecond is scored.
Stay Consistent
Do not jump the gun. False starts cost points, and steady, repeatable reactions score best.

Reaction & Attention
19 exercisesComplex Choice Reaction Test
Compare a target figure against four reference shapes and decide within 2.5 seconds whether it matches one of them.
Vigilance Test (VIGIL)
Test your attention and reaction speed. Detect when the moving circle skips a position.
Determination Test (DT)
Test your reaction speed with colors, directional arrows, and sounds across adaptive difficulty levels.
Instrument Monitoring Test
Watch a bank of cockpit gauges and catch the moment any needle drifts out of its green band — before the response window closes.
Perceptual Speed
Compare two strings at a glance and decide — same or different? Rapid-fire detail checking against the clock.
Stroop Test
Name the ink colour, not the word. A colour word streams on screen in a possibly-mismatched ink — select the ink colour and resist reading the word.
Visual Scanning
Sweep a cluttered field and connect the numbers in order — 1, 2, 3 … — as fast as you can find them.
Processing Speed
Learn a digit–symbol key, then match a rapid stream of symbols to their digits as fast as you can. Pure coding speed against the clock.
Attention Switching
Connect scattered numbers and letters in alternating order — 1, A, 2, B, 3, C … — switching mental tracks on every single step.
Auditory Detection Test
Monitor a spoken number stream in your headphones and respond only to the targets — or to the hidden even/odd runs.
Time Anticipation Test
A green ball flies at constant speed, then vanishes before a marked line. Press at the exact moment it would cross — then point to where. Timing error in milliseconds, position error in pixels, in the style of Schuhfried's ZBA.
Signal Detection Test
Watch a dark field of about 25 small white dots that appear and disappear at random, and press the moment four of them form a square. A practice version of SIGNAL, Schuhfried's signal-detection vigilance test in the Vienna Test System, with the S1 white-on-black and S2 black-on-white forms and a sudden-death Challenge mode.
Monitoring Ability Test
Count the blue dots drifting inside a circle and pick the exact number from five buttons before the clock runs out. A faithful practice version of scales cmo, cut-e's name for this test, also called the CUT-E Monitoring Ability Test.
ENAC Symbol Counting
Two counting exercises, and every board gets interrupted twice by a grid of colour words. In Attention 2 you count one symbol among two others that look a lot like it. In Attention 3 you count the x signs, minus after a / and plus again after a +. Each grid stays open for 12 seconds. In Attention 2 you tick the words written in their own colour, and in Attention 3 the ones that aren't. The exam format is 10 boards of each, 90 seconds a board.
ENAC Sustained Attention
You see four characters in four places: NW, NE, SW and SE. Then each board shows four grids of characters, one in each place, and for each place you say whether its own character is in its grid. The grids are built from those same four characters, so only the one that belongs to the place counts. The exam format is 3 series of 5 boards, with 3 minutes for each series.
ENAC Dials Reading
Eight car and aircraft dials, with a table underneath that has a column for each of their ten readings. Tick the value each dial shows. You get to study the dials before the clock starts, and they stay put for the whole run. The exam format is 10 boards in 6 minutes.
ENAC Odd and Even
A board of numbered circles, scattered over the whole screen. Starting from START, click every one, odd and even in turn, with the odd numbers in ascending order and the even ones in ascending order, each on its own. A wrong click sends you back to START. The exam format is 5 boards with 90 seconds each.
ENAC Shapes and Colours
One shape at a time, filled or empty, in one of two colours. Two rules tell you whether to press X or N, and the colour says which rule to use. Each shape shows for half a second, and the exam format is 32 shapes, one every 3.2 seconds.
ENAC Mosaic Count
A black figure made of 16 tiles in a 4 × 4 square, with no lines between them. Count how many there are of each of the ten kinds and type each count under its tile, with a 0 for every kind that isn’t there. The exam format is 24 boards in 10 minutes.
