BASSIN ANTICIPATION TIMER
Model 35575

DESCRIPTION

Dr. Stanley Bassin originally developed the Bassin Anticipation Timer at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. One of the applications of the unit is to test the area of human visual acuity related to eye-hand coordination and anticipation.

The subject is instructed to watch a light as it travels down the runway. They must anticipate the light reaching the target and press a pushbutton, or perform some other action, to coincide with the arrival of the light at the target. The new version of the Bassin Anticipation Timer incorporates many new features, as well as enhancements to existing features, adding new dimensions to your experiments. The additional features will allow researchers to explore new paradigms and new twists on old paradigms.

FEATURES

ENHANCED FEATURES

Selectable speed from 1 - 255 MPH
Selectable Cue delay from 0.5 - 30.0 seconds Random Cue delay setting
Runway lights are twice the size and are five times brighter
Runway interconnection has been improved for increased life and reliability

NEW FEATURES

Different start and ending speeds may be set for Acceleration or Deceleration
Storage of all test settings
Any light on the runway can be selected as a target light
Independent blanking of any light or section of lights along the runway
Stand-alone instrument with small portable control panel
