Averaged 242ms and I'm 29.

245ms avg for 5 ... two times ... but i'm recovering from a cold ... will be interesting to see if it has any impact on the test
247ms in the test with the sheep...

[Hobbs04]

230 avg so much for F1 for me.

Get Jegs Christmas tree app.

213ms 5/5. 25yo

I tried again; yesterday I used firefox. Today I thought maybe google chrome would reduce "browser latency". Turns out it was around 50ms slower then firefox. I tried firefox again; 15 times averaged around 271ms with most tries fairly close to the average, but the last one was 195ms.

Mind that I use a TV set instead of a normal PC monitor, so perhaps it has its impact too.

oh yeah: I'm 24 yo.

[Juzh]

yep. -30 on firefox.

average on the tree .012

Interesting test!
Between 202 and 223 in 5 tries. 43. IE11.
Edit: Tried again with Firefox: Same range: Best 192, worst 243, average 209.

247ms average from 10 tries

Can't get below ~250ms ... -.-
But I did a different test once ... It was a car interior with normal throttle and brake and a few lamps in front of the windshield at some distance. You had to press the throttle to keep "the car" at minimum 50 km/h ... and then one of the lights turned on and you had to do an emergency braking, it measured the time from the light going on to you touching the brake pedal and then measured the force you were able to apply resulting in a total stopping distance...

I got 330ms on average with 102kg or ~1kN of force (i just weigh 65kg and the result was better than for most that were def. heavier than me ...the ladies had the lowest results of the group ofc) ... distance got calculated at ~16m ...
So i really wonder why the result with clicking a mouse button is only 50ms faster than actually moving my foot off throttle and onto the brake OR i really just have very fast feet

There are many things which may influence your recation time. One tip -- do not focus on the picture, let your peripheral vision do work (not really turn away your eyes, just don't focus).
Out of various stimuli vision seems to be the slowest. In rfactor I learned to drop the clutch at siren, because hearing is around 50-100ms faster than vision. The perception of balance is faster too.
Also, we react faster to movement than to color change, so better results in the other game in this thread might be down to that, although the script might influence everything of course.

0.277 average. Best one was was 0.205, but my first one was very slow (0.325 because I wasn't paying attention).

That's interesting. Is sound perhaps faster to process by the brain then visual?
EDIT: some searching delivered this:

Apperently, auditory signals require 8 to 10 ms to reach the brain, while visual signals take as much as 20 to 40ms.

On mobile i am getting 496 or so.
I think for sprinter it is an amerag of 140 ms to push out of the blocks at the sound of a gun. Anything below 0.1 seconds is jumping the gun.
