Human
Presence
Experiment
v0.1 — HUMNLABS Research
Can interaction-derived signals contribute to confidence in human presence — without requiring identity, biometrics, or personal data? This experiment explores that question.
Before you begin
-
Behavioral signals only We observe timing, movement, and rhythm — not biometrics, not identity. No persistent data is created about you.
-
Fully local processing All experiment signal analysis runs inside your browser. Experiment signal samples are not transmitted to HUMNLABS servers or persistently stored by the experiment. Standard web hosting request metadata may still be processed as described in our Privacy Policy.
-
Educational demonstration The result is an educational signal summary. It is not proof of humanity, not an identity claim, and not a guarantee of any kind.
Click the target the moment it changes to NOW! — 3 rounds. Respond naturally, at your own pace.
Methodology Note: This task uses a visual 'NOW!' cue and does not currently provide an equivalent non-visual cue. Results may be affected by display, device, and input latency.
Round 1 of 3
This continues the demo without a reaction-timing sample. The reaction signal will be marked as Excluded, and the summary will reflect the available signal coverage.
Move your cursor (or finger) freely inside the area below for 5 seconds. Keyboard users: use WASD or arrow keys to move the drawing cursor.
Type the phrase below naturally — no need to rush, just write as you normally would.

Educational Session Signal Summary
This browser-local research demonstration is not output from the private HUMNLABS Trust Engine, is not proof of humanity, and is not an identity assessment.
—
Display, browser, device and input latency affect this session measurement. It does not establish whether someone is human.
—
Point count and timing depend on the input device and browser sampling behavior. They are not a biometric identity or humanity assessment.
—
Input timing depends on keyboard, language, input method and familiarity. It does not establish identity or humanity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this verify identity or measure biometrics?
No. This experiment measures transient interaction patterns during your active session — such as reaction timing, cursor movement consistency, and typing rhythm. It does NOT ask for, collect, or inspect your identity, credentials, or biometric profiles. No behavioral profile or historical data is ever compiled.
Does this prove humanity or guarantee security?
No. This experiment is an educational demonstration showing how browser-local interaction signals can be observed. It does not produce an authoritative score, human-versus-bot verdict, identity verification, or security guarantee.
How is privacy protected and how does browser-only processing work?
All signal collection and signal evaluation logic run completely in your browser's temporary memory. No data is transmitted to remote servers, written to cookies, or stored in local browser storage. Refreshing or leaving the page immediately discards all transient state and redirects to the Welcome screen.
Why is this an experimental demonstration and what are its limitations?
HUMNLABS is an exploratory research initiative investigating privacy-preserving human presence signals. Current limitations include sensitivity to input hardware differences, touch screen variations, and potential overlap with advanced automation tools. The methodology is continuously evaluated as an open research demonstration.
