UICollectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath Scrolling

Question

I am using a CollectionView to display an image in. I am using horizontal scrolling with pagination enabled so the user is able to scroll from image to image right to left as they would on the apps screen on iOS. How might I be able to call didSelectItemAtIndexPath to detect which cell the collection view has stopped on without the user having to tap on the cell?

Though it is not relevant:

- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

    titleLabel.alpha = 1.0;
    mainTextLabel.alpha = 1.0;
    availableLabel.alpha = 1.0;
    sizeLabel.alpha = 0.0;
    sizeImage.alpha = 0.0;
    moreInfoOnSize.alpha = 0.0;

    UICollectionViewCell *datasetCell =[collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    datasetCell.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor]; // highlight selection

    PFObject *selectedObject = [labelFileArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    titleLabel.text = selectedObject[@"labelText"];

    PFObject *selectedObject2 = [mainTextArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    mainTextLabel.text = selectedObject[@"mainTextLabel"];

    PFObject *selectedObject3 = [availableLabelArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    availableLabel.text = selectedObject[@"availableLabel"];
    if ([availableLabel.text isEqual:@"Available"]) {
        availableLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
    } else if ([availableLabel.text isEqual:@"Sorry We Are Out!"])
    {
        availableLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    }

    NSLog(@"%@", indexPath);

}

You can call visibleCells on your collection view to get the cells currently visible on the screen like this:

// All visible cells (1 or more depending on your layout and cell sizes)
NSArray *visibleCells = [myCollectionView visibleCells];

// Get the first cell from the array
UICollectionViewCell *firstCell = visibleCells.firstObject;
