System Requirements
Minimum: 800×600
Recommended: 1024×768
Description
Test of sustained vigilance and reaction time. Respond as quickly as possible when a stimulus appears. In comparison to high-duty vigilance tasks, stimuli occur with long inter-stimulus intervals (30s or more). Widely used in sleep research, as the main DVs measure lapses indicating sleep attacks.
