Running study from a network server

[jaskoj]

The computer that runs my DirectRT experiments is connected to a network. Does this affect the precision of the reaction-time measurements?

Some people have reported that they have been able to reduce minor variability in display timing by disconnecting from the network during DirectRT sessions. I would first check your log data files to see if you have any variability to deal with. If not, then it's not really an issue. If so, then try running a few sessions with the network cable pulled out and see what happens to that variability.
Hope that helps,
