An empirical evaluation of machine learning techniques to classify code comprehension based on EEG data

作者:

Highlights:

• We trained machine learning techniques with electroencephalogram data.

• Machine learning techniques classified developers’ code comprehension.

• Machine learning are effective to classify code comprehension using brain waves.

• The effectivity of machine learning techniques was higher than a random classifier.

• Machine learning techniques presented an effectiveness higher than 80%.
