I honestly don't think that's possible. Based on what I've read, conscious reaction time is on the order of 200ms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_chronom

Because you're not reacting immediately. You're watching something move over a second or longer and hitting the button when they line up. To prove it's not reaction time, you could even close your eyes for the last half second. And someone could do this on a trick they just learned and don't have muscle memory for. > nor is it logically possible for the duration of a trial to be negative. Yet hitting the button early for a trick with a small window of frames happens constantly. That by itself should show it's not a matter of reaction time.
