Abstract: Abstract In this research-in-progress paper, we propose an experiment to investigate the neurophysiological correlates of mind wandering using electroencephalography (EEG). Auditory oddball event related potentials have been observed to be sensitive to the mind wandering state and can be used as a real-time passive measure. This has advantages over standard survey techniques because it is an objective, non-disruptive real time measure. We describe an experiment to observe the neurophysiological correlates of mind wandering in online learning environments using an auditory oddball. In doing so, we introduce a new experimental paradigm to the IS literature which could be used to extend other attention-related research.
