A new kind of thinking cap: Using brain imaging to improve personalized learning

(Worcester Polytechnic Institute) A research team led by Worcester Polytechnic Institute computer science assistant professor Erin Solovey is working to develop a system that could extract information on student's engagement and emotional state by merging computer science with neuroscience. Through a collaborative $1 million National Science Foundation grant, researchers will explore the use of sensors to measure brain activity during learning. They will then compare that information with student log data to understand important mental activities.
