COGNITION / ATTENTION / MEMORY
A small browser lab for studying the split second between a signal arriving and a response becoming conscious.
Run a short task, see your own pattern, and leave with a sharper question. These are demonstrations of classic cognitive paradigms, not diagnoses, rankings, or personality tests.
Each task starts with a short explanation. You can practice before the measured trials begin.
When an automatic habit competes with the instruction in front of you.
How much information can stay active long enough to be used?
How the visual system finds a target among competing signals.
These interactions are small demonstrations of how attention and memory can be measured. Your result describes one session under one set of conditions.
Use a laptop or desktop if you can. Timing is more meaningful when the screen and input are stable.
Practice is there to remove confusion. The measured trials begin after the instructions make sense.
Nothing here is diagnostic. The interesting part is the pattern and the question it gives you next.
