Abstract
Bringing together the notions of mental impasses in problem solving and perceptual restructuring of spatial information during re-orientation the present study investigates brain activity in two real-world pilot experiments on spatial reasoning: an orientation pointing task and a Sudoku puzzle. The working hypothesis of this research is that if we approach wayfinding as an instance of problem solving we can create intellectual bridges between labbased experimental situations and real-world scenarios and adopt new perspectives on existing findings. Two pilot ERP experiments have been conducted in an attempt to check the feasibility of mobile EEG (Emotiv) in detecting a distinct pattern of brain activity during the representational update in real-world spatial problem solving. Initial results in both cases suggest a P3- like component might be the brain’s signature of a representational update.
