Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to elucidate the physiological indexes that allow us to grasp the state of mind of an online learner. Experiments were conducted to investigate the relations between the interest in watching videos, use of mouse when learning, and degree of understanding after reading and their corresponding indexes calculated from physiological signals, such as electroencephalography and hemoencephalography. Results revealed that significant correlations existed between the interest in watching videos and electroencephalogram, use of mouse and change in skin conductance, and degree of understanding and electroencephalogram and blood-volume pulse.
