    Conrad, C., Klesel, M., Oschinsky, F., Mayhew, K., O’Neil, K., and Usai, F. (2023). It’s not the number of meetings: Social presence and workplace control predict perceived remote work performance. Proceedings of the 2023 Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences.
    The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a widespread disruption to the way that we work. One of its lasting consequences will be the ubiquity of remote work. The effective use of collaboration tools is therefore a critical factor ...

  • Measuring Mind Wandering During Online Lectures Assessed With EEG 

    Conrad, C., & Newman, A. (2021). Measuring mind wandering during online lectures assessed with EEG. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 455. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2021.697532
    Mind wandering can inhibit learning in multimedia classrooms, such as when watching online lectures. One explanation for this effect is that periods of mind wandering cause learners’ attention to be redirected from the ...
