Signature Work Project Overview

Sian’s Signature Work project explores the impact of short video consumption on attention and physical work. Using non-invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology, specifically the openBCI device, Sian monitored participants’ brain activity while they engaged in short video consumption. The study aims to uncover insights into how short video consumption affects attention levels and physical work performance, especially typing performance, with potential implications for understanding modern media consumption habits and their impact on cognitive processes and productivity.
