Overview
This video demonstrates a procedure to obtain simultaneous gaze tracking and high density EEG recordings from subjects during performance of engaging and ecologically valid cognitive tasks embedded in a computer game. The main advantage of this technique is that it relieves performance anxiety and helps subjects remain motivated throughout a long experimental session.

What is high-density EEG?
High-density EEG involves using a large number of electrodes to record brain activity with high spatial resolution.
How does gaze tracking work?
Gaze tracking uses cameras to monitor where a subject is looking, providing insights into visual attention during tasks.
Why use video games for cognitive tasks?
Video games enhance ecological validity and help reduce performance anxiety, making subjects more engaged.
What are event-related potentials?
Event-related potentials are brain responses that are directly the result of a specific sensory, cognitive, or motor event.
Can this method be applied to other research areas?
Yes, this technique can be adapted for various cognitive and behavioral research applications.
