According to Figure 1, the tactile stimulus was the fastest reaction followed by auditory and visual. The tactile stimulus was the fastest reaction because it is the reaction in which the nerve takes the lowest amount of time since it only sends the message to the brain and then back down to your muscles. The tactile stimulus is more of a reflex, it is not like the visual stimulus where the brain has to think of the purpose before closing the hand. For both person one and two the tactile stimulus was their quickest reaction being 0.045 and 0.064 seconds. The slowest stimulus was the visual reaction and the times were 0.197 and 0.235 seconds. The difference is very significant and it is all due to the fact that the signals have to travel less.
