An OT "project" of mine. 

A friend has Parkinson's disease, and is getting the jitters. He was a
senior manager in a major IT corporation (he is not a programmer, did some
FORTRAN for his MSc, years ago - but he's smart enough). About a year ago
wrote for himself a simple reaction time (mouse response to some cue
appearing on screen) in MS Excel (VBA), but he would like to do some .NET
programming, and also write something more appropriate for his condition. 

I have seen a few things on CodeProject that might be adaptable, but most
are too elaborate (games, which assume super-quick reaction time but also
are too involved in terms of story line, graphics, etc). 

Over time, I would be grateful if anyone on the list can just post a URL
that I can have a look at. I've got him working with VS2008 Express, but
might need to use a more capable / more recent IDE. 

(Those of you who are aware of tests for behavioural neuroscience may know
that this is a reasonably involved area of research and testing, but is also
a very fertile area for internet money-raking, by individuals whose ethical
behaviour is similar to those advertising p3nis enlargement!) 

Thanks - it would be good to get a few tips.
