RECRUITINGChange in participants' physical reaction time
Participants' reaction time will be measured in milliseconds using open-source software "Open-source open-access reaction time test"
Time frame: Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program
Change in percentage of participants' mouse click accuracy
Participants' mouse click accuracy will be measured as a percentage using a web-based program, "Mouse Accuracy"
Time frame: Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program
Change in participants' number of target efficiency
Change in participants' number of target efficiency will be calculated as number of hits divided by possible targets using "Mouse Accuracy"
Time frame: Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program
Change in participants' clicks per second
Change in participants' clicks per second will be measured by counting actual mouse clicks per second using "Mouse Accuracy"
Time frame: Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program
