That would be a fun project for a science fair.
Build a setup. Collect a lot of data.
How much does it vary? For one person, between people, ...
How close can you get if you are trying to set a clock?
Can you calibrate the person and subtract off a constant?
What if you get multiple samples?
Many years ago, my boss did that sort of stuff. I think he said that
normal reaction time from light-on to button-press was 250 ms. It's
faster if there is no penalties for false presses.
