Psychomotor slowing assessment from stimulus-response movement timing

Quantify movement timing after visual or auditory prompts for human-performance, fatigue, neurology, and cognitive research.

Study measures

What the camera can measure

These outputs are designed for study comparison, rater review, and statistical analysis. They are not diagnostic claims.

Initiation latency

time from stimulus marker to first visible movement

Movement time

first movement to target contact or task completion

Response variability

trial-to-trial latency distribution

Missed or delayed response

no movement, late movement, or incorrect response event

Study setup

Build the task around your protocol

ConductVision works best when the task, camera setup, annotations, and export fields are defined before the first participant visit.

Task presets

  • simple reaction time
  • choice response
  • tap response
  • go/no-go movement
  • vigilance task

Researcher annotations

  • stimulus time source
  • task block
  • sleep or fatigue condition
  • medication timing
  • missed response

Export fields

  • initiation latency
  • movement time
  • response variability
  • missed events
  • block summaries

Camera setup

Camera view includes the responding hand or body movement and the stimulus marker or synchronized event log.

What is established

Reaction-time and psychomotor vigilance tasks are used in sleep, fatigue, neurocognitive, and human-performance studies.

What ConductVision quantifies

ConductVision measures visible initiation and movement completion, especially when studies need a video audit trail.

What still needs validation

Millisecond precision depends on stimulus synchronization, frame rate, and camera timing validation.

Data export

Reviewable data for analysis teams

Exports are built for study notebooks, statistical analysis, and rater review. The video remains available for audit when the protocol allows it.

CSV task summary by participant, visit, and session
Frame-level landmark coordinates with confidence values
Event timestamps for starts, stops, repetitions, pauses, and task phases
JSON review files for overlays, researcher notes, and audit history
Evidence

Scientific context for the task family

These links point to the measurement areas researchers commonly use when validating a protocol.

Research-use measurement note

ConductVision outputs are research-use measurements unless a customer has completed their own clinical validation, regulatory review, and intended-use controls. The study team remains responsible for consent, privacy, camera calibration, rater review, and clinical interpretation.
