The NeuroRank combine is built from eight timed tasks: three adapted from classic cognitive paradigms, five purpose-built for esports. Scores are percentiles against norm tables calibrated on our own live cohort, and this page says plainly which numbers are measured and which are still accruing.
Competitive play stresses a handful of measurable abilities: raw reaction speed, target acquisition, sustained tracking, short-term spatial memory, resistance to interference, and staying accurate right after things go wrong. Each combine run is six modules; the exact six depend on the genre track (general, FPS, or MOBA), drawn from the pool of eight below.
Where a classic laboratory paradigm fits the ability, we adapt it and cite it: reaction time, flanker interference, and spatial span have decades of published form behind them. Where no canonical task fits the esports context, we built one and label it an original task. We do not claim laboratory validation for the original tasks; their norms come from our own cohort, below.
N = completed combine runs including the module. Genre-limited modules (Working Memory, Flick, Sequencing) run in a subset of the cohort; per-module counts ship when per-module completion tracking does.
Every dimension score is a percentile: raw metrics (latencies, accuracy, distance from target) are looked up against norm tables and interpolated between table anchors. The current tables (norms v2) were calibrated on 2026-07-02 against 208 completed live sessions, with flagged bot and cheat profiles excluded. Where our sample is still thin, the tables blend in published population estimates and keep more weight on them at the distribution tails.
Some metrics are ceiling-capped: when a meaningful share of real players hits the maximum possible value (100% accuracy, say), a perfect score maps to the midrank of the tied group rather than the top percentile, because a quarter of the population cannot all be "top 1%". Every profile stamps the norms version it was scored under, and the tables are recalibrated as the cohort grows.
