How does one realistically train their reflexes? It's not tied to IQ or physical strength, but has massive implications for motor functions.

What you need is more complex environments that get you to train measured movements and the right action to what comes at you. Peak performance to simple stimuli like HumanBenchmark can put you in the 150ms range, but you really aren't going to get better at it by just clicking the screen as soon as it goes green.

Compound Reaction is more in the range of 400-500ms with a wide variation based on the number of conditions. An FPS with friendly fire has enemies popping up everywhere. Fighting games have a bunch of moves that require different defenses/counters. Strategy and tactics and management whatever else. By training in actual games to the point of stressing your focus and actually generating some adrenaline, your overall speed will improve.

Have someone throw stuff at you randomly for a whole week.

It's impossible to train reaction times. You can "predict" actions to make up for it, but the actual brain-signal speed cannot be improved and slowly degrades with age

Wrong.

>Researchers have reported medium-sized correlations between reaction time and measures of intelligence: There is thus a tendency for individuals with higher IQ to be faster on reaction time tests

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6639008 "Correlation between reaction time and intelligence in psychometrically similar groups in America and India."

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1953598 "The genetic correlation between intelligence and speed of information processing."

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2668913/ "Whole Brain Size and General Mental Ability: A Review"
>Reaction times are so easy to do that 9- to 12-year-old children can perform them in less than 1 s. On these simple tests, children with higher GMA scores perform faster than do children with lower scores, perhaps because reaction time measures the neurophysiological efficiency of the brain's capacity to process information accurately—the same ability measured by intelligence tests (Deary, 2000; Jensen, 2006). Children are not trained to perform well on reaction time tasks (as they are on certain paper-and-pencil tests), so the advantage of those with higher GMA scores on these tasks cannot arise from practice, familiarity, education, or training. Simple reaction time (SRT) measures correlate with IQ ~ 0.20, while more complex choice reaction time (CRT) measures correlate ~0.40. In aggregate, RTs can correlate 0.70 with IQ (Jensen, 2006).

This sucks because no matter what theres gonna be at least a couple MS of buffer between your mouse clicking, and the PC registering it's click.

More like 50ms+ unless you have a good monitor and mouse.

This is a list of display lag for 144hz monitors

reminder that Tr+Tf response time >>> muh 299Hz

The response time of a monitor is capped by its refresh rate. If you look up display lag tests, obviously 240hz monitors are the lowest.

delay between frames in 60hz is 16ms, in 144hz - 7ms, but that won't do shit if the pixel effectively rises and falls at 25ms delay, on top of that delay between frames.

Yeah, I tried doing this a few weeks ago on my older laptop and got an average of around 320 ms. Pic related is what I get with a decent monitor/mouse

Year of practice.
Why do people expect there is some easy magical trick to getting good at anything?

Also in this test monitor and mouse speed matter. A shitty mouse can add as much as 40-50ms and add another 20-50 for you monitor.

Men evolved to have faster reflexes due to being the hunter gatherers and having to deal with dangers such as snakes etc (men / boys with slower reflexes died before they could have kids so the ones with faster reflexes slowly became the norm over tens of thousands of years), so men have faster reactions genetically. Since women never did anything but stay at home they didn't need to have faster reflexes for any reason so today they have slower reflex times. They slow down as they get older but middle aged men are still faster than women.

One of the many ways men and women are different.

That's just luck or a script.
The human eye takes around 15ms to process an image, let alone to understand and react to the stimuli.

Also, for anyone that doesn't know....adrenaline makes your reactions faster.

So if you're scared, hyped up, startled etc you will have lower reaction times for obvious reasons.

Energy drinks boost adrenaline.

>train for reflexes
hahah retarded zoomer
you either have reflexes or you don't
buy all the stuff you want and "train", you won't get good tracking skills or reflexes
you might get better at the game, but it will do nothing for your reflexes

take a look at this dumb beast nigger shootmania andy that looks like he's had more than one stroke
he thinks he is a good fps player and keeps giving advice to other people when he should just quit
take a look at his channel and all the shit he's bought
he's also wasted 20 years of his life trying to git gud
you either have it or you don't, you should be able to tell after a few weeks of playing seriously

>reflexes
>aim
those are not the same thing

Experience > Reactions

aiming is reflexes, it's the same skill
all he has to do is move left and right with the mouse and track the moving bar and he can't even do that
the thread is about reaction time, you're the one that connected reflexes and them improving (when they won't, they will stay the same) by playing a particular game when op just used the word in a general term

both > neither or one

let me get this straight, you're saying that anyone who scores low on a reflex test is automatically great at aiming?

I said what I said
what you said isn't true

i sleep like an hour from now
can you blame me

Yes, and you said
>aiming is reflexes, it's the same skill

it is the same skill you are genetically predeterminned to hit by developing it over time as you mature, yes
by practicing a game you are gaining knowledge about the game
playing the game would have to be the only practice your motor skills get for it to increase your reflexes and coordination
