Analysis of Students’ Learning Emotions Using EEG

Advances in Internet technologies have enabled students to improve their learning experiences by making use of diverse sources of information and knowledge. The teaching model of the twenty-first century is gradually changing. The learning center of the student is no longer a teacher but the student himself/herself. Today, teachers are no longer the soul of teaching but the student is increasingly involved in the learning process. But students are easily affected by emotions in learning efficiency. Research has shown that learning experience can be good when students are in positive moods whereas negative emotions have the opposite effect. To improve the student’s learning efficiency, teachers who are students must understand their learning emotions. When students’ emotions are negative, teachers must step in to provide assistance to the students in their studies. This study analyzed brain wave signals and classified brain wave emotions by using the support vector machine (SVM) method. Brain wave emotional analysis results provide the teacher’s emotions during the learning process. When students are in negative moods, teachers can intervene to assist students during learning in due course.
