EEG activities and connectivities associated with surtitle presentation during live opera viewing: an exploratory analysis of cognitive absorption (opens in new tab)

Characterizing brain activities underlying text availability in an ecologically valid context and identifying whether aspects of these activities are influenced by one’s state of cognitive absorption (CA) are important yet unexplored lines of research in cognitive neuroscience. This study investigated the oculometric behavior and electroencephalographic (EEG) activities during periods with vs. without surtitle presentation in 25 human subjects while they viewed a live theatrical stage perform...
