I remember reading this in 2019 even before I ever noticed(2019) is a part of the title. The tech antagonized me by a lot, to my belief, the attempt went way way beyond necessary evil and also scented of scam. This is disgusting, it's narrated by a curious young male voice, explaining how the device is working on himself, his classmates, and how the teachers and others will know then their attention is drifting away from the class. This shouldn't happen, I can't even imagine how they got their IRB approval in the first place. Collecting and using EEG data from a consented subject for a scientific investigation is one thing, but using a poorly designed toy to regulate human behavior is another. The former one has an explicit scope that helps the human race to understand itself, but the later one is an onset of nefarious control freaks en masse that targeting not only your body, but also your mind. Btw as a previous research assistant who spent 5+ years in brain imaging, the tech behind this also looks weird to me, you can't get meaningful EEG data in a room with so much interference. I don't see any follow-ups on this either. It usually takes 2 painful hours, give or take, to properly prepare ONE subject for an EEG experiment, and 15 minutes at least after that for them to wash off the glues on their head.
