Input devices

Light pens
In particular, subjects with little computer experience prefer this medium. The respondent simply taps with the light pen on specially marked boxes that appear on the screen. A cross appears in the box to confirm that the answer has been recorded. All that is needed is a standard CRT monitor.


Response panels

We have developed two special keyboards that provide a wide range of response options.

The "standard" response panel has seven coloured keys, ten number keys and one sensor key as well as a USB port and connectors for foot-operated keys.



The "universal" response panel has seven coloured keys, ten number keys, one sensor key, two speed regulators and two analogue joysticks as well as a USB port and connectors for foot-operated keys.


Auxiliary devices

Motor Performance Series
Related test: Motor Performance Series (MLS)

The Motor Performance Series is a highly developed precision test based on Fleischmann's factor analytical investigation of fine motor skills. It measures both dynamic and static dimensions of finger-hand-arm movement.

The MLS measures the following six fine motor factors:



  • Aiming (accurate targeting of movement)
  • Hand unsteadiness, tremor
  • Precision of arm-hand movements
  • Hand and finger dexterity
  • Speed of arm and hand movements
  • Wrist-finger speed


Areas of application:
Neuropsychology, clinical & health psychology (including rehabilitation), personnel psychology

Flicker tube
Related test: Flicker Frequency Analysis



  • Flicker frequency analysis measures the arousal of the central nervous system
  • This procedure uses a stimulus light of 10.0 to 80.0 Hz in steps of 0.1 Hz



Areas of application:
clinical & health psychology, neuropsychology


Peripheral Perception
Related test: Peripheral Perception

The Peripheral Perception test is used to check the respondent's ability to perceive and process peripheral stimuli. The subject carries out a tracking task, which compels him to focus his attention on the centre of the visual field. At the same time the subject is required to respond selectively to light stimuli that appear peripherally.

Areas of application:
traffic psychology (90% of the information to which a driver is exposed is received via the optical channel), sport psychology, personnel psychology.
