District Administration featured Nervanix in an article about new products which target memory, attention levels and brain's plasticity. Check out what they had to say about Nervanix below! To read the whole article visit districtadministration.com.
Measuring and even changing a student’s brain activity was once a science fiction concept. But technology advances are pushing to market more products that use attention levels and plasticity of the mind to raise academic achievement.
Measuring attention
Another product on the market is the recently launched Nervanix Clarity, a study tool with a headset that monitors brainwaves to determine how much attention a student is paying to a particular web text, video or audio recording. An algorithm translates the brainwave activity to an attention metric.
At the end of the study session, students can see where their attention was highest and lowest, and go back to the exact place where attention dropped.
“It allows you to flip back to the book or video in an intelligent way,” says Adam L. Hall, founder and CEO of Nervanix. It can also help teachers determine which educational materials students pay the most attention to, he adds.

Wendy Drexler, chief innovation officer at ISTE, says schools need classroom data before adopting any product or method that claims to enhance the brain.
“The transition from research to actual application in the classroom is a long and complicated process,” Drexler says. “Often, companies and educators take a single study or recent research finding and try to immediately apply them to learning. In reality, the brain is very complex and this type of research is in its infancy.”
More insight into how the brain works and how humans learn will be gained in the coming years. “That, combined with technology, will offer powerful platforms to facilitate and accelerate the learning process,” she says.
