PULSE

PULSE is an open-source platform for browser-based cognitive measurement. It runs short, controlled behavioral tasks (reaction time, accuracy, attention) entirely in a web browser and stores trial-level data locally, with an optional opt-in path to contribute anonymized session data for research.

PULSE is a measurement platform, not a brain-training product. It does not make medical, diagnostic, or cognitive-improvement claims.
