From the contents: * women show more symmetrical reaction times than men * a reduced signal-to-noise ratio of auditory stimuli increases the auditory reaction times * depression impairs stimulus processing in auditory reaction tasks * antidepressants improve stimulus processing in auditory reaction tasks * electroconvulsive therapy improves visual reaction times 3 hours after application * low potency neuroleptics improve left-hemispheric auditory response selection * high potency neuroleptics impair stimulus-response processes in nearly all auditory and visual tasks * schizophrenia impairs left-hemispheric auditory information processing * schizophrenia affects right-hemispheric auditory and visual processing * normal aging impairs sensorimotor anticipation in all reaction tasks

Focusing on the intersection of neuroscience and mathematics, the work explores the stimulus-response task as a measurable phenomenon in the brain. It highlights the historical context of reaction time studies and their mathematical modeling, particularly through logarithmic functions. The introduction of computers revolutionized the investigation of neural structures related to these tasks, allowing for extensive data collection and statistical evaluation. This technological advancement enabled a deeper understanding of reaction times as quantifiable sequences, revealing insights into the underlying neural mechanisms.
