Wouldn't this be somewhat subject to polygraph syndrome? I.e. if I am being monitored my stress levels will be artificially higher as I am nervous about the monitoring.

The article is brief on details and I didn't follow any links for further study. They seem confident in their findings though so I'm sure they know better than I.

But that's the first thing that popped into my head just reading the headline...



I think that would certainly be the case at first, but if you were being monitored all day every day, you'd become accustomed to it soon enough.

The study measured developers over a two-week period. By the second week, I would say that the developers had probably become accustomed to it.


Maybe it's just me but I've never seen able to ignore nipple clamps.
