Neuroscience experiment to test reaction times


In preparation of the Olympics, the Senior Science Club tested their individual reaction times.  We used an on-line baseball play-off game to measure our reaction time when batting.  Then we conducted a simple test to measure reaction time when catching - we measured  the delay in catching a ruler when dropped randomly without warning.  We measured the drop in centimetres and then converted it into seconds using a conversion chart so we could compare our individual scores.
