    Unit of measure for reaction times

    [edited from support email]

    I am currently using MediaLab and I am timing my participants' reactions time. In what unit are the reaction times reported (e.g., seconds, milliseconds)?

    Milliseconds, so just divide the numbers by 1000 to get the values in seconds. Note: be careful because millisecond measurement doesn't imply millisecond accuracy (see http://support.empirisoft.com/showthread.php?t=15)
