Abstract

In this study, we conducted an experimental examination regarding the impact of biofeedback to restrain mind wandering (MW) that occurs while watching educational videos. In the experiment that was conducted with ten participants, we introduced a beep (biofeedback) while they watched educational videos when MW was detected over time. This was done by using a pre-prepared machine learning estimation model based on electroencephalograms. The results of the experiment suggest that it is possible that the beeps were introduced when the participants were thinking of something unrelated to the task, when they were daydreaming, and when they felt sleepy while watching educational videos.
