Simple Reaction Time (SRT)

What is Simple Reaction Time (SRT)?

Simple Reaction Time (SRT) is the measure of the time it takes for an individual to respond to a single stimulus. It is a basic form of reaction time testing where a person is required to perform a specific action, such as pressing a button, as quickly as possible after perceiving a stimulus, such as a light or sound. SRT is often used in psychological and neurological studies to assess the speed of cognitive processing and motor response. It is considered a fundamental metric in understanding human performance and can be influenced by various factors including age, attention, fatigue, and practice.

Swordsmanship is the art used at the border between life and death. It is easy to throw away your life and proceed toward death, but it is difficult not to make life and death two... Entrust life to life, and entrust death to death; but do not make this mind two... With this, you will gain complete freedom.
