Classroom Study
Attention & real-time assessment in secondary school.
Status
Now open in the United States
Cohort
1,000 students · ages 12–15
Schools
Approx. 10–15 institutions
The Context
Schools are facing a growing challenge.
- 01
Fragmented attention
Students are present, but their attention is dispersed across competing stimuli.
- 02
Limited classroom visibility
Teachers cannot see, in real time, who is following the lesson and who is not.
- 03
Assessment under pressure from AI
Conventional homework and written assignments no longer reliably measure learning.
The Approach
A structured classroom method
built on three principles.
- Principlei.
Short learning segments
Concepts are delivered in compact, well-paced units to sustain attention through full classroom sessions.
- Principleii.
Immediate response cycles
Every segment closes with a short response moment that captures understanding before moving forward.
- Principleiii.
Real-time feedback for teachers
Teachers see, in the moment, who understood and where the class stands as a whole.
No reliance on phones or personal devices.
The classroom remains a focused, screen-free environment for the duration of the session.
A research instrument for the classroom.
Throughout the study, classrooms are equipped with a dedicated response unit. It is not a consumer product: it is a research instrument designed to standardize how attention and immediate understanding are captured during class.
- AAnonymous response capture
- Each unit captures answer, response time and certainty without storing personal data on the device.
- BNo screens · no phones
- Designed to remove personal devices from the classroom for the duration of the session.
- CSingle-purpose hardware
- Four physical inputs. No notifications, no apps, no ambient distractions.
- DBattery-powered & offline
- Operates in standard classroom conditions. No setup beyond the cohort kit provided.
The device is provided to participating schools as part of the pilot kit. It is collected back at the end of the study.

Pilot Program
A controlled implementation in real classroom conditions.
- Duration
- A few classroom sessions.
- Students
- Ages 12–15.
- Format
- Real classroom implementation.
- Commitment
- No obligation after the pilot.
Participating schools receive
- Full pilot setup — equipment and platform provided.
- Onboarding and ongoing support throughout the study.
Participation Limit
1,000
students · approx. 10–15 schools
Due to the statistical design of the study, participation in the United States is strictly limited. Allocation is made as schools confirm availability — first confirmed, first allocated.
Observed outcomes
What participating schools observe in their classrooms.
Attention
Increased student attention
Visibility
Immediate visibility of understanding
Assessment
Continuous assessment during class
Positioning & value for participating schools
Participating schools position themselves at the forefront of educational innovation and neuroeducation practices.
The program is designed as a research initiative, not a commercial offering.
Schools contribute to the understanding of how attention and real-time assessment can be improved in current classroom conditions.
Future access conditions
In the event that this initiative leads to further development or broader implementation, participating schools will be granted preferential conditions in recognition of their contribution to the study.
Study outputs
Participating schools will receive
- A summary of the study results.
- Institutional recognition of participation.
- Official participation certificates.
Schools are free to publish and communicate their participation and results through their own channels — websites, social media, academic publications or internal communications.
Research context
This initiative is part of an ongoing international research effort involving European institutions and secondary education environments.
The objective is to generate evidence-based insights on classroom attention and learning processes in the context of current technological challenges.
Institutional context
Ongoing study in European secondary education.
