Construction of Logic for Focus Assessment Using Webcam Images

Collect and Analyze the Data Necessary for Constructing Focus Assessment Logic Based on NIRS

Abstract

With the advent of the information society, technologies for extracting information such as actions and emotions from cameras have been advancing. Among these, there is a growing demand, particularly in educational settings, for measuring concentration levels. While attempts have been made to identify these using methods such as measuring events caused by changes in blood flow using fMRI or EEG, as well as measurements like heart rate and blinking, no established method exists yet. In this study, focusing on measuring concentration levels during online learning, we attempted to identify regularities in behavioral changes during concentration by comparing changes in blood flow measured by fNIRS and behavioral changes measured by cameras, as well as comparing them with subjective assessments from the participants. As a result, it was concluded that it would be difficult to identify regularities.
