There are several ways in which a participant can interact with and respond to a given stimulus. The example code provided demonstrates various interaction methods, including:

Clicking on a specific location within an image
Pressing a designated button
Selecting a value on a slider
Inputting a numerical value
Providing textual input

Upon executing the code, a user interface will be generated with the following appearance:

This code incorporates CSS styling techniques to enhance the visual presentation of buttons and optimize the alignment of multiple visual elements in relation to one another. Additionally, the code demonstrates the utilization of jQuery to capture user input and display it within the developer console. To observe the console output as you interact with the interface, ensure that the developer console is open while running the code and engaging with the provided elements, such as clicking the "Proceed" button.

If you find certain input methods beneficial for your project, feel free to incorporate relevant portions of the code into your own work.
