Abstract

Texting while walking is a widespread and dangerous behaviour. Efforts are being put towards the development of mobile applications to refrain users from engaging in this behavior. The study of the neuropsychological mechanisms underlying this behavior will help developers aim specific cognitive processes. This study uses intracranial electroencephalography to increase our spatial understanding of the processes implicated in mobile multitasking. We asked a subject implanted with 128 electrodes to engage in a texting conversation while having to discriminate a point-light walker’s direction. We discuss our results and methodological learning from this pilot study.
