“…In this study, the use of MMH2 and its effect on relaxation using the associated neurofeedback was assessed. The MMH2 device has been previously used in various studies [13,14], but not for the evaluation of its stress reduction option. We believe the main limitation in this study was the number of participants, which made it difficult to extrapolate from the results.…”

NeuroSky Mindwave Mobile headset 2 (MMH2) is an EEG-based biofeedback device that can be used to assist in relaxation by providing users feedback on their level of relaxation. In this study, we aimed to assess the effect of using MMH2 on pulse rate variability (PRV) as a measure of relaxation in addition to the in-App real-time data.Six participants were recruited and provided information about the study once they contacted the university. Participants were required to use the Brainwave Visualizer application as part of the NeuroSky suite for relaxation for 10 minutes. PRV of each participant was determined before and after use of the MMH2. Biosignals were initially preprocessed to remove artifacts and resampled at 8Hz for time and frequency domain analysis using purpose written Matlab software. We obtained multiple parameters including the average value of the inter-pulse intervals, standard deviation, root mean square of the successive differences, and stress index,The stress score from the MMH2 screen indicated a decrease in overall stress by the participants. RMSSD decreased from pre-MMH2 to Post-MMH2 (4.6±5.9; 2.9±0.9; p=) whilst the Kubios Stress Index decreased as well (0.74±1.5; 0.44±1.1, p =) MMH2 can be used to help reduce stress and anxiety levels, making it a potentially useful tool for home use.

“…The paper, "Investigating the effectiveness of speech-to-text recognition applications on learning performance, attention, and meditation" [19] examines the effectiveness of speech-totext recognition technology as a learning and concentration aid to encourage a calm state of mind. In this experiment, students who do not have STR (speech-to-text recognition), when unable to understand their lectures, feel stressed and lose concentration.…”

Currently, thousands of free K-12 educational videos exist online with the aim of trying to help young students learn outside of the typical scholastic environment. However, most of these videos are in English, so without subtitles it may be difficult for non-native English-speaking students to fully understand them. These students may need to spend time searching for translations and understanding content, which can distract them from grasping the important concepts within the videos. The state-ofthe- art of speech-to-text and NLP techniques might help this group digest the content of instructional videos more effectively. This paper proposes an application that uses speech-to-text, machine translation, and NLP techniques to generate translated subtitles and visual learning aids for viewers of instructional videos. This video application supports more than 20 languages. We applied our application to some popular online educational videos and conducted a qualitative evaluation of its approach and effectiveness. The results demonstrated that the application could successfully translate the English of the videos into the viewers’ native language(s), detect keywords, and display relevant images to further facilitate contextual understanding.

“…Anyway, no connection has been determined between the positive stimuli and the learning performance. Although the biggest part of the researchers is focusing just on attention point, some of them also include meditation into their studies as NeuroSky also supplies its pride meditation detector directly to the products [96,104,106,108]. However, meditation will not play the main role in comparison to attention during an active classroom and can only be included with other factors for performance evaluation.…”

Wireless Sensors for Brain Activity—A Survey

et al. 2020

Over the last decade, the area of electroencephalography (EEG) witnessed a progressive move from high-end large measurement devices, relying on accurate construction and providing high sensitivity, to miniature hardware, more specifically wireless wearable EEG devices. While accurate, traditional EEG systems need a complex structure and long periods of application time, unwittingly causing discomfort and distress on the users. Given their size and price, aside from their lower sensitivity and narrower spectrum band(s), wearable EEG devices may be used regularly by individuals for continuous collection of user data from non-medical environments. This allows their usage for diverse, nontraditional, non-medical applications, including cognition, BCI, education, and gaming. Given the reduced need for standardization or accuracy, the area remains a rather incipient one, mostly driven by the emergence of new devices that represent the critical link of the innovation chain. In this context, the aim of this study is to provide a holistic assessment of the consumer-grade EEG devices for cognition, BCI, education, and gaming, based on the existing products, the success of their underlying technologies, as benchmarked by the undertaken studies, and their integration with current applications across the four areas. Beyond establishing a reference point, this review also provides the critical and necessary systematic guidance for non-medical EEG research and development efforts at the start of their investigation.
