Abstract: The authors present, on the base of recent studies, dealing with neurology and cognitive brain activities, the great potential of physiological data, for immediate and personalized reaction on the learning process of the learning subject. They emphasized electrodermal activities, blink rate, blink speed and heart rate measurements, for their potential to reflect decreasing attention, increasing visual or cognitive information load, task difficulty, stress or fatigue of the learning subject. Paper highlights the advantages and constraints of different data acquisition approaches and methods, as well as constraints, done by the HW and SW limits, by the necessity of individual setup, by ...
