RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

In no particular order, this is a list of recent highlights from published and preprint papers relating to Sea Hero Quest.

Geometry of navigation identifies genetic-risk and clinical Alzheimer's disease

Uzu Lim et al 2024 (preprint)

We love this pre-print by Uzu Lim because it looks at alternative performance metrics in the existing normative benchmark. In our eyes, it’s a really exciting analysis of some additional ways to determine performance from things like path curvature and boundary effects in conjunction with Duration and Length. One to watch!

"Cognition is assessed using Sea Hero Quest, a spatial navigation video game that predicts spatial ability in the real world."

Victor Gilles, Syrine Salouhou, Rémi Vallée et al 2024 preprint

The best descriptions come from the research community — like this short sentence we really liked from an upcoming paper that looks at “Social determinants of cognitive aging trajectories across 39 countries”.

Read the preprint.

Sea Hero Quest was given this incredible synopsis as part of this 2024 paper “... SHQ to be a significant advancement toward creating digital cognitive assessments that are controllable, sensitive, safe, low-cost, and easy to administer”.
