About the Research
The MEGA (Memory Episode Gaze Anticipation) paradigm introduces a novel methodology for assessing memory independent of verbal report. By analyzing eye-tracking features combined with machine learning, we can quantify memory retrieval in populations with limited verbal ability - including infants, patients with brain injuries, or even animals.
“In a series of experiments, we demonstrated that gaze direction is a very sensitive gauge of memory. Even when subjects said they didn’t remember, their gaze direction showed they did. This means that sometimes people remember, but can’t say that they remember.”
