Call the display method of the view yo want to be shown. Do not use setNeedsDisplay, display will do it right after being called (this will halt programm exection in between). Init a NSDate object with the current time. After user response compare the first date with a new one (double elapsed = [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSinceDate:startDate]).

Read the other mails. You have to experiment to figure out the offset you need. Yust use times measured with your app, comparing the measured times with others wont be exact. If you stay inside of your app, comparisions should work.

I need a simple way to capture reactions times associated with an onscreen event. The user sees a display, responds via click (or verbally). I need to get the time the event displays , along with the time that the user responds via mouse click (or verbally). I need the times in msecs so that I can calculate the user's reaction time.

I could use some suggestions about how to do that. The only documentation that I have mentions NSCalendarDate which doesn't seem like the correct path to me.
