## Scientific Background

Our tests are based on established cognitive psychology research:
- Reaction time tests measure processing speed, a key component of fluid intelligence
- Memory tests assess working memory capacity (Miller's 7±2 rule)
- Visual tests evaluate visual-spatial processing abilities

## Common Questions

Q: What is a good reaction time?
A: Average human reaction time is around 250ms. Under 200ms is considered excellent, while professional gamers often achieve 150-180ms.

Q: How can I improve my cognitive performance?
A: Regular practice, adequate sleep, physical exercise, and proper nutrition can all contribute to better cognitive function.

Q: Are these tests scientifically validated?
A: Our tests are based on established cognitive psychology paradigms used in research settings.
