Human decision-making and memory

Human data acquisition

Human behavioral data acquisition

Using open source, custom-written software we have created a simplified, computer-based search environment. Through separation of navigational cues and guidance cues to targets we can ascertain the information that a subject is using on a second-by-second basis. Here we show a video of simultaneous game screen capture and the subject’s quantified behavior.

Collaborating with the Cognition and Cortical Dynamics Laboratory (UW Psychology) and the GRID lab (UW Neurosurgery) we combine this free foraging behavior with electrocorticography (ECoG) recordings from human patients.

Here we see an example of ECoG data projected onto a model of the human brain.
