What is the BilaTera Scroll Test?
The BilaTera Scroll Test is a free five-minute internet experiment about the urge to scroll. Put on headphones, choose one thought, then stay on this page while a bilateral sound alternates between the left and right channels.
How the test works
The timer stays hidden. The test records attempts to scroll, deliberate timer checks, and whether you leave the page and return. It does not read notifications, activity inside other apps, or the thought you choose.
Your result
After five minutes, compare your urge to switch before and after, estimate how often your mind wandered, and receive one of 30 BilaTera color themes based on the timing of your first interruption.
The public experiment
Only each participant’s first attempt contributes to the public Scroll Test statistics. The experiment is not a clinical test and does not measure attention span.
