Studying naturalistic human communication using dual-EEG and audio-visual recordings

We present a protocol to study naturalistic human communication using dual-electroencephalography (EEG) and audio-visual recordings. We describe preparatory steps for data collection including setup preparation, experiment design, and piloting. We then describe the data collection process in detail which consists of participant recruitment, experiment room preparation, and data collection. We also outline the kinds of research questions that can be addressed with the current protocol, including several analysis possibilities, from conversational to advanced time-frequency analyses. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Drijvers and Holler (2022).¹.
