| description | Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) have gained significant attention in recent years for various applications, including education and skill development: studies have shown that BCIs can boost memory, concentration, and even creativity and can improve learning and memory retention in healthy people. In our current study, we investigated the effectiveness of real-time feedback provided by a BCI system for improving performance on a specific task. A total of 20 participants completed a pre-training assessment, followed by a training period with the BCI system and a post-training assessment. The BCI system provided real-time feedback based on the participants’ level of accuracy, with positive feedback given for scores above 70%. Results showed a significant improvement in accuracy scores from pre- to post-training, with an average improvement of 15%. Participants also reported high levels of satisfaction with the feedback provided by the BCI system. These findings suggest that real-time feedback provided by a BCI system can be an effective tool for skill development and education, particularly when tailored to the specific needs of individual learners. Further research is needed to explore the potential of BCIs for a wide range of educational applications. |
