How This Test Works
What It Measures
Measures your auditory response speed to a low-latency synthesized tone. Unlike visual reaction tests, auditory signals bypass the visual processing pathway, resulting in faster typical response times due to fewer synaptic relays.
How Scoring Works
Your score is the average response time across multiple trials. Auditory reaction times are typically 30-50ms faster than visual ones because the auditory brainstem pathway is shorter than the visual pathway.
What Affects Your Results
Headphone vs speaker latency, ambient noise levels, and individual differences in auditory processing speed all affect your score.
