Abstract: In this work, we developed a new approach to predict learning performance regarding a group, by analyzing his brain activity during a two-day experiment. In fact, we recruited 21 participants and asked them to read multiple texts in the first day and to answer questions about these texts on the second day. In our experiment we recorded for every learner the amplitude of the six main frequency bands and we computed the rate of the dominant brainwave vector per second. The other factor that we register is the variation of this rate during the two days of the experiment. The ...
