With the development of emerging technologies, educational neuroscience continues to grow, which makes it possible to conduct neuroscientific studies in learning environments. In recent years, neurotechnologies have been introduced to educational contexts in terms of supporting the learning process, in other senses, enhancing the learning experience.

Despite the rapid growth of educational neuroscience, the majority of its experiments were conducted in the laboratory with heavy equipment and within controlled groups. I envision a future of educational neuroscience that is mobile, safe, and non-invasive. Educational neuroscientists propose that applying mobile neuroimaging technologies is beneficial for the mind, brain, and education. On top of that, mobile neuroimaging technologies also come with great potential in assisting special education in helping learners with brain disorders and learning disabilities.

Mobile neuroimaging technologies include electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRs).
