Abstract

This poster explores how students` attention levels can be traced through recordings of their electroencephalography (EEG) signals. The EEG signals are recorded through the Neurosky MindWave headset during lectures in the classroom. We configured and aggregated the recordings searching for similarity in the signals throughout the group of students to create a dashboard and use them as pedagogical neurofeedback to increase the students` capabilities in controlling their attention and concentration in learning situations.
Furthermore, learning analytics methods are deployed to create a prototype of a neurofeedback tool as a real-time dashboard providing the students and teacher with information about the present attention levels in the classroom. The aim is to create a tool that visualizes the attention level for the whole class by aggregating the students’ individual levels of attentions.
Data and analysis from the first pilot tests are presented here.
