Setting up the lane…

What this step asks

Bring the average of five valid taps down to 480 ms or less on Go or stop. Taps before the signal or within 100 ms of it are false starts and repeat the trial; so does no tap within 2 s.

The numbers behind the target

  • The waits before the first ten signals of this run range from 1.8 to 3.4 s, 2.5 s on average.
  • 4 of those ten signals are Stop signals: hold back on them.
  • The time includes the delay of your screen and of your touchscreen, mouse or keyboard, so this target means most on the device you usually play on.

Before you start

First steps are about finding the rhythm of the game. Run it once just to watch, then run it to clear it.

The run code fixes the tasks, so every retry is the same course. What you learned on the last attempt still applies.
