Abstract: Embodiments leverage wireless data passively collected by access points of a school to correlate a student's behavior with respect to time and place. This data-driven approach can quantify student behaviors and objectively measure and track how students move and interact on campus. For example, if a student accesses a wireless router that is in the same physical location as a class on the student's schedule at the time the class takes place, the correlated time and place quantifies how the student behaves with respect to class attendance. The invention takes the sum of such interactions (e.g., attending classes, studying in the library, etc.) and produces a student engagement score (SES) for each student. The SES is evaluated to determine how student behaviors change over time (e.g., throughout a semester) and whether the student is trending to a low engagement score and thus “at-risk” of dropping out.

Abstract: Presented are systems and methods that analyze an individual's state based on selected criteria, and then adaptively provide stimuli to affect the individual's performance compared to established benchmarks and pre-set plans. The methods or systems can provide audio and/or tactile inputs to a human subject to obtain a specific performance state. A music or sound selection engine considers the sensory and environmental inputs and selects the appropriate music or auditory stimulus, with the intent to reach a desired state of flow. The methods and systems can employ multiple measurements of personal data that can correlate to the emotional state of a subject. By manipulating stimuli delivered to an individual, ultimate performance can be improved over various planning horizons.
