ABSTRACT
In this research, we investigate the effect of pair programming on the mind of software developers using data coming from EEG and how it effects the overall outcome of their task. For this research, we use EEG device to measure the brain-behavior relations of the developer and analyze the electromagnetic waves using ERD and correlation. We measure the concentration level, either it is high or low under three different cases: solo programming, pair programming (navigator) and pair programming (driver). The preliminary results of the analysis of pair programming confirms the higher concentration level as compared to solo programming.

Improving the CS1 experience with pair programming
Pair programming is a practice in which two programmers work collaboratively at one computer, on the same design, algorithm, or code. Prior research indicates that pair programmers produce higher quality code in essentially half the time taken by solo ...
