The experiment found that audience presence had no effect on the technicians’ brain activity, while for the performers it caused a noticeable increase in stress. However, both types of participants were in a state of relaxation during meditation practices and listening to music.
The experiment was conducted using a neural interface, a device that reads brain activity using electroencephalography. The participants focused on their tasks: One wrote code, the other created an image. The study revealed that concentration levels are highest during work, as well as how neural activity changes during rest.
