Nervanix

Pioneering the exciting new instructional category known as Attention AdaptivityTM, the team at Nervanix has developed the award-winning Nervanix ClarityTM application*, which empowers students to engage their study material in an entirely new and unique way. Nervanix Clarity helps to assure successful learning by redirecting students back into their study material where they “zoned out” and may not have comprehended the material. Nervanix Clarity builds effective learners by strengthening cognitive abilities. This unique tool enables learners to identify attention levels while they study. Cognitive skills combined with emotional interest and active engagement produce effective learners who achieve at higher levels.

HOW IT WORKS 

1. Using a simple and safe EEG headset, Nervanix Clarity measures attention levels of learners as they study and paces along with them as watch an instructional video or listen to a recording.
2. Learners can load their own content or search for YouTube or Kahn Academy content.
3. Learners play the content in the Clarity Player while their attention scores are recorded.
4. Learners then review what they studied and check their attention scores.
5. Learners can save their results for further review.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Nervanix Clarity is a simple application that runs in the background as learners engage with study material (i.e. video files, audio files, etc.)
• It's like a DVR for studying – Nervanix Clarity intelligently guides a learner back to specific content areas where he or she may have missed critical concepts due to lack of concentration.  
• When learners complete a study session, they are presented with a graphical representation of their study session, showing their attention levels, moment by moment, and allowing them to easily see where they need to review.
• Wireless sensory headsets measure attention and communicate via Bluetooth with desktops and laptops. Future versions will work on Android and iOS mobile devices.
• Nervanix Clarity enables users to review specific sections of material multiple times until they are satisfied with their attention levels and their overall study session.  
• Teachers, parents, and tutors can track progress and monitor where students are having trouble -- in real time -- providing immediate data analysis to help students pinpoint areas where assistance is needed.  
• Nervanix Clarity also allows learners to “drop pins” as they study, and annotate the content as they interact with it – like writing notes in the margin of a book.  These pins help remind students of what they may find interesting, confusing, challenging, frustrating or anything in between.
