We are inviting software developers and computer science students to participate in our latest lab study investigating brain activity and cognitive load during code comprehension tasks using EEG (Electroencephalography).

Procedure

This lab study aims to investigate the brain activity and cognitive load of developers while solving code comprehension tasks. The experiment takes place at the Institute of Informatics UZH in Oerlikon (BIN 1.A.09) and will take approximately 45-60 minutes, plus an additional 30 minutes for setup and cleanup.

Compensation

By participating in this study, you will:

• Receive a compensation of 30 CHF upon completion of the experiment (preferably via Twint).
• Obtain a personal EEG data report containing visualizations of your brain activity during the experiment.

Participation

If you’re interested in participating in this study, please schedule a date.
