Abstract

Mind wandering (MW) is a ubiquitous phenomenon in which attention involuntarily shifts from task-related processing to taskunrelated thoughts. This study reports preliminary results of a video-based MW detector during film viewing. We collected training data in a study where participants self-reported when they caught themselves MW over the course of watching a 32.5 minute commercial film. We trained classification models on automatically extracted facial features and bodily movement and were able to detect MW with an F1 of .30. The model was successful in reproducing the MW distribution obtained from the self-reports. Copyright is held by the owner/author(s).
