Analýza změny reakční doby vlivem působení vnějších a vnitřních vlivů organismu

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is analysis of reaction time changes due to effect of internal and external influence of organism. The robust measurement device has been developed for this analysis. Measurement results can be statistically evaluated. I focused on the measurements of several kinds of reaction times in the thesis. Namely, it is simple reaction time, choice reaction time and reaction time based on competition between opponents. The results are recorded in LabVIEW environment where users can see basic graphic and numerical figures during current measurement. Detailed post-analysis can be performed manually based on stored data after completion of all measurements. The main goal of this thesis is the analysis of changes in reaction times. Such change can be indicator of a certain degree of human cognitive function. We should be able to predict probability of malfunction of the nervous system in future based on the analysis outcome or detect this abnormality at an early stage and undergo more successful medical treatment.
