Conducting research via the internet is a formidable and ever-increasingly popular option for behavioral scientists. However, it is widely acknowledged that web-browsers are not optimized for research: In particular, the timing of display changes (e.g., a stimulus appearing on the screen), still leaves room for improvement. So far, the typically recommended best (or least worst) timing method has been a single requestAnimationFrame (RAF) JavaScript function call within which one would give the display command and obtain the time of that display change. In our Study 1, we assessed two alternatives: Calling the RAF twice consecutively, or calling the RAF during a continually ongoing independent loop of recursive RAF calls. While the former has shown little or no improvement as compared to single RAF calls, with the latter we significantly and substantially improved overall precision, and achieved practically faultless precision in most practical cases. In Study 2, we reassessed this “RAF loop” timing method with images in combination with three different display methods: We found that the precision remained high when using either visibility or opacity changes – while drawing on a canvas element consistently led to comparatively lower precision. We recommend the “RAF loop” display timing method for improved precision in future studies, and visibility or opacity changes when using image stimuli. We have also shared, in public repositories, the easy-to-use code for this method, exactly as employed in our studies.
