Question 11 of 20
Which is an effective research question based on the information
in paragraphs 1-3?
(1) A new pair of smart glasses uses a technique
invented at NASA to measure users' brainwaves and
tell them how well they're paying attention. Others
have used the NASA formula to help people train
themselves to focus, as has the company's founder,
but Narbis' new smart glasses are getting much
quicker results.
(2) The technique is based on neurofeedback,
detecting brainwaves and showing users a readout of
their own brain activity. With practice, they can then
learn to control it.
(3) NASA didn't invent neurofeedback. But in the
1990s, a scientist working on pilot training at NASA's
Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, came
up with a way to translate brainwave output to
characterize attention levels. More and more of a
pilot's job was being done by automated programs,
and researchers were becoming concerned that
pilots, being less engaged, would have trouble
maintaining focus.
