Cognitive Performance and Reward

an interactive hypnosis/brainwashing experiment

Cognitive Performance and Reward Response Study is a fictional online research protocol about timed response, reward feedback, cognitive performance, and self-assessment. Subjects complete a simple true/false motor-attentional task on a steady audio-visual pulse. Over time, the task measures response timing, accuracy drift, reward sensitivity, and the effect of pleasure and distraction on first-response behavior.

NOTE: This game makes heavy use of audio feedback: metronome ticks, response cues, and reward chimes. Headphones are recommended, and your audio should be on. If you are in SILENT MODE on iOS when you load the page, you may not have audio until you turn silent mode off and reload.

CW: The page presents itself, fictionally, as a cognitive performance and reward response study while training you to answer automatically, accept reward feedback, care less about accuracy, and agree with increasingly compromising self-report prompts.

It uses repetitive audio cues, pulsing visual stimuli, timed response pressure, hypnotic repetition, erotic conditioning language, arousal language, dumbification / IQ-reduction fantasy (being "dumb"), pleasure-as-distraction (being "needy" and "desperate"), and late explicit sexual text around needing to orgasm, be touched, be fucked, etc.  

It is DEFINITELY NOT AN ACTUAL EXPERIMENT. No research data is uploaded or submitted; any "responses recorded" language is part of the fictional frame. The app tracks the current session locally in the browser while you play.

It is an adult game, 18+ only. The surface stays dry and clinical, but the late-stage prompts become bluntly erotic. There are no explicit images, but there is explicit sexual text.

It's a short-to-medium experience, about 25-30 minutes depending on how long you pause between sections.
