A mobile device for measuring sensorimotor timing in synchronized tapping.
This paper describes the design of a mobile device for examining sensorimotor timing. Control software installed in this device has facilities for storing time series data of interstimulus onset intervals, intertap onset intervals, and response duration in a comma-delimited file of ASCII text format as well as for running an experiment on synchronization tapping. The device provides a highly convenient way to allow collecting such timing data even in real situations like a kindergarten or a day care center for elderly people, given its mobile property and ease of use.
