Abstract

Deep focus states, like Immersion and Flow are important parameters when it comes to an enjoyable experience during learning activities. To measure these mental states usually self-assessment questionnaires, answered by the subject after the experience, are used. Because of the shortcomings of this method, the ultimate goal is to establish an alternative measuring method through correlations of physiological sensor data. Exploring the Physiology of deep focus, in the course of prior studies, physiological data of participants was recorded during activities and inspected for correlations with Flow and Immersion. By broadening the experimental scope, this paper explores the effect of participant's emotions on reaching states of deep focus.
