Visual Oddball is a simple, interactive iOS app that demonstrates visual attention and reaction time using a classic target-detection task.
Users respond to a designated target color while ignoring non-target stimuli. Circles appear briefly on screen with variable timing, encouraging focused attention and rapid responses. At the end of each session, the app provides clear performance summaries and allows optional data export for personal review.
Visual Oddball is designed for educational and demonstration purposes, making it useful for students, instructors, and anyone interested in how attention and response timing work in a simple, hands-on way.

Important Notes
Visual Oddball is not a diagnostic or clinical tool.
