Get Inside the Mind of a Learner: Interact with EEG Technology

Welcome to our exhibit at Imagine RIT! We're excited to show you how we're using a brain-computer interface device to enhance students' learning experiences. As you approach our booth, you'll see a wearable device that looks like a headband. This device collects data from your brain and uploads it to a special webpage we've developed. Here's what your experience will be like when you participate in our experiment: 1. Prepare for the Experiment: You'll start by wiping your forehead and earlobes with wipes. This helps ensure a good connection with the device. 2. Wear the Device: Next, you'll put on the headband-like device. It's comfortable and easy to wear. 3. Engage with Stimuli: You'll then respond to specific stimuli for about 5 minutes. These stimuli could be related to online classroom ideas or video simulations. The device will record your brain's activity during this time. 4. View Your Data: On our computer (web page), you'll see your state of mind during the experiment. You'll be able to see if you were focused or confused, and you'll see a graph that shows the range of data collected during the experiment. This device allows us to monitor students' states of mind in real-time during learning. By using a prediction model and transmitting the results to a webpage, we can help you understand if you accurately understood the content that was shared. You'll also be able to see where and how you were confused and focused during the learning process. Our goal is to help solve students' confusion and improve the quality of learning. We believe that by developing this educational assistant tool, we can promote education fairness and provide more opportunities for underprivileged students. We also hope to design a system that can provide teachers with convenient data on students' learning processes, helping them improve their teaching in the future. Our research outcomes can be applied to various scenarios. For example, this technology could be used to monitor drivers' focus levels during long trips, helping prevent accidents by providing instant warnings if the driver is fatigued. Overall, by participating in our experiment, you'll learn about the importance of fairness and equality in the classroom, innovative opportunities in education, and the potential applications of our research outcomes. We hope you enjoy the experience and learn something new!
