Mikasa builds and runs Best Reaction Test — writing the code behind the timer, reading the primary research, and checking every published claim against it.
About
I built Best Reaction Test because I wanted a reaction timer that is honest about what it measures. Every number on this site comes with its limits attached: browser scores include device and display latency, and that caveat appears wherever scores are explained.
I write the blog the same way I maintain the tool. Claims are checked against primary research, sources sit next to the numbers they support, and mistakes get corrected in the open. When I am not working on the site, I am usually doing what the blog recommends anyway: five rounds, same device, watching the median instead of the best round.
How I work
