Hi Denise,

This sounds like an interesting topic. But what exactly are you looking to test or observe? We have to first narrow down your topic to a specific question. There are many questions though--I suggest looking into different types of video games (action, adventure, etc.) affecting heart rate. Or maybe test different age groups and see how different ages respond to different heart rates.
