Abstract

The performance of programmer is crucial in software developing process. The performance can be influenced by the number of external factors, such as noise, illumination etc. These work uses Electroencephalography to understand the influence of music on programmers mental state. Several(n=8) programmers were given the task according to their proficiency. They were asked to solve different tasks with music and without. The arousal-valence coefficients were calculated in order to understand emotional state of programmers. As results, the mean Arousal and Valence levels are lower and higher respectively, while listening to music. Further researches may use the proposed methods as baseline. Also, we strongly advice to increase the number of samples and asses other factors that could potentially influence the emotional state.
