Abstract
A system includes a brain activity sensor sensing electrical activity of a students' brain and a device that receives messages from the brain activity sensor while the student is receiving instructions with a first value for an attribute of instruction and that determines a first attention level from the received messages. The device receives additional messages from the brain activity sensor while the student is receiving instructions with a second value for the attribute of instruction and determines a second attention level from the additional received messages. The device then determines an attention variability for the attribute of instruction based on a change in attention level from the first attention level to the second attention level.
Claims21
A system comprising:
- a brain activity sensor sensing electrical activity of a students' brain;
- and
- a device:
- receiving messages from the brain activity sensor while the student is receiving instructions with a first value for an attribute of instruction and determining a first attention level from the received messages;
- receiving additional messages from the brain activity sensor while the student is receiving instructions with a second value for the attribute of instruction and determining a second attention level from the additional received messages;
- determining an attention variability for the attribute of instruction based on a change in attention level from the first attention level to the second attention level;
- displaying the attention variability for the attribute of instruction on a display;
- receiving an indication that the attention variability for the attribute of instruction is selected;
- and
- in response to the selection of the displayed attention variability, providing a recommendation for an adjustment for the attribute of instruction to increase an attention level of the student.
A method comprising:
- receiving sensor data from a brain activity sensor that senses electrical activity of a student's brain during two different phases of instruction, each phase of instruction having a different value for an instruction attribute;
- using the sensor data to determine a variability of attention levels of the student in response to changes in the instruction attribute;
- displaying the variability of the attention levels of the student to changes in the instruction attribute
- receiving a selection of the displayed variability of the attention levels and in response providing a recommendation for an adjustment of the instruction attribute to increase the attention level.
A system comprising:
- a brain activity sensor sensing electrical activity of a student's brain;
- a device receiving messages from the brain activity sensors, using the received messages to determine a variability of the student's attention level based on changes in an instructional attribute, and generating a user interface displaying the variability in the student's attention level based on changes in the instructional attribute such that upon selection of the displayed variability, the device generates a recommendation for adjusting the instructional attribute to increase the student's attention level.
