Time Anticipation Test
Neuro-SensomotoricA 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.
Overview
The Time Anticipation Test recreates Schuhfried's ZBA (Zeit- und Bewegungsantizipation — time and movement anticipation), used in Vienna Test System pilot screenings. The first-party format: a green ball moves at constant velocity, disappears, and the candidate answers twice per trial — press at the moment the ball would cross a marked line (time anticipation, error measured in centiseconds) and point to where it crosses (movement anticipation, error measured in pixels). The test ships in forms S1–S3. Difficulty scales three levers at once: ball speed (0.16–0.24 field-widths/s), how long the ball stays hidden before the line (0.8 / 1.4 / 2.0 s) and how diagonal the paths get, over fixed 10- or 20-trial runs; Practice mode shows the truth after every trial, Assessment mode holds all feedback until the end. This is a descriptive practice tool: it reports your own timing error in milliseconds (the real test's centisecond measure ×10), signed early/late bias and position error, not a percentile or pass/fail verdict.

Example: one trial, two answers
Every trial asks the same two questions about one hidden ball: press at the moment it would cross the marked line (timing error in ms — early is negative, late is positive), then click the point where it crosses (position error in px). This is one real diagonal trial, step by step.
Phase 1 of 4 — the green ball enters and flies at constant speed on a straight, slightly diagonal path. Read its speed and heading while it is visible.
Game Phases
Track the ball
A green ball enters and travels at constant velocity along a straight path. Read its speed and heading while it is still visible — that is all the information you get.
Keep it moving in your head
At the occlusion boundary the ball vanishes. Nothing changes about its motion — extrapolate it at the same speed, on the same heading, toward the marked line.
Press at the crossing moment
Press Space or click at the exact instant the hidden ball would cross the finish line. Early presses score negative error, late presses positive — the size of the error is what counts.
Point to the crossing spot
Immediately after your press, click the point on the line where the ball crosses it. On diagonal paths the crossing point sits above or below where the ball vanished.

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.
