Project ALERT

The potential of multimodal hyperscanning recordings in a real-world setting

Project ALERT demonstrates the feasibility of using multimodal EEG-fNIRS hyperscanning to measure alertness and engagement in ecologically valid environments, such as classrooms. By combining physiological data from 20 students during passive and interactive lectures, researchers evaluated mental workload and attention using objective brain metrics. This collaboration between ANT Neuro, Artinis, Thales, Noldus, and the University of Twente reveals promising insights for applying brain-computer interface technologies to education and high-stakes control room scenarios.
