Future of Smart Classroom in the Era of Wearable Neurotechnology
This is an incremental vision paper discussing potential applications for education without presenting new experimental results.
The paper envisions future smart classrooms that leverage wearable neurotechnology to provide personalized education by tailoring instructions and interactions to individual students' strengths and needs, based on advances in neuroscience, machine learning, and embedded systems.
Interdisciplinary research among engineering, computer science, and neuroscience to understand and utilize the human brain signals resulted in advances and widespread applicability of wearable neurotechnology in adaptive human-in-the-loop smart systems. Considering these advances, we envision that future education will exploit the advances in wearable neurotechnology and move toward more personalized smart classrooms where instructions and interactions are tailored towards. students' individual strengths and needs. In this paper, we discuss the future of smart classrooms and how advances in neuroscience, machine learning, and embedded systems as key enablers will provide the infrastructure for envisioned smart classrooms and personalized education along with open challenges that are required to be addressed.
