Hi everyone,
I hope this topic fits here, since this forum often discusses aiming, perception, and how players read the table.
My name is Christian Lill-Rastern. I am a billiards instructor from Austria and currently writing my bachelor’s thesis in psychology at the University of Innsbruck.
My study investigates neurocognitive aspects of pool billiards performance, including spatial reasoning, mental rotation, movement anticipation, and intuitive physics. I am interested in how these abilities may relate to performance in pool and, indirectly, to how players understand ball paths and table situations. In other words, I am trying to shed some light on the neurocognitive aspects behind questions that are closely related to aiming, perception, and table reading.
The online test takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Please try to complete it as fully as possible. Short breaks are possible, but very long interruptions may cause the session to expire or the test to be interrupted.

This is a non-commercial academic project. I would be very grateful for participation and also for any thoughts from players and instructors on whether these kinds of cognitive abilities matter in real pool performance.
Thank you very much!
