“Mobile brain/body imaging (MoBI) is an integrative multimethod approach used to investigate human brain activity, motor behaviour, and other physiological data associated with cognitive processes that involve active behaviour” (Jungnickel et al., 2019, p.59).
o Under naturalistic conditions
o On all time scales
o Lightweight and wearable mobile sensors
o Wireless data transfer
o Advanced multi-resource data analyses
o Aim to understand how the human brains produce the optimal results of behaviours

“Neuroergonomics is defined as the study of the human brain in relation to performance at work and everyday settings” (Gramann et al., 2017, p.1), including educational environments. In such naturalistic settings, people frequently perform movements that require them to adapt quickly to constantly changing circumstances (Jungnickel & Gramann, 2016). For example, students need to follow various instructions from teachers in the classroom to learn. MoBI, which can be applied in real-world conditions, is a highly desirable tool for neuroergonomics research. Using MoBI allows for a deeper understanding of human-machine interaction (HMI) in the current technology era (Gramann et al., 2017).
