Hi, 
We have a task with free button presses allowed for a left and right buttons on a button box. In the data we see a few subjects with very high response rates like 20 responses per second. Is it possible that Inquisit recorded the data with only 75-100ms between each left button response because the person pressed the button and never let it go?

Also, Is there a lower limit faster than which Inquisit cannot record each button press? If there is a lower limit and a subject goes faster than that, does Inquisit still record the press just at a later time than the actual press?
BTW, we use Cedrus RB 740 response pad.
