The method described is known as "evoked potential," where changes in brain activity in response to a stimulus (in this case, a checkerboard pattern with a different number of squares) are measured. This technique is often used to study sensory and cognitive functions in infants and adults by recording the electrical activity of the brain in response to specific stimuli.
