Eye Mind Wander Dataset

Dataset description

Each row represents a mind wandering event with values for corresponding features in columns. A mind wandering event is operationalized as an instance in which mind wandering was assessed. A mind wandering event can contain multiple probes e.g., participants asked to evaluate task-unrelated thought and boredom. Features can be classified into several categories: general, eye-tracker, task, eye measures, demographic Due to the varying designs of the studies, some features may not be applicable, measured, or reported. These missing values are represented by empty cells. Below is a description of the features contained in the dataset grouped into categories.
