Abstract: A method is implemented by a computing device for helping a particular user use a user interface (UI). Electroencephalography (EEG) data is obtained that indicates brain activity of a particular user during a period in which that user views the UI and/or interprets help information that describes how to use the UI. Based on the EEG data, the computing device selects, from among multiple predefined cognitive states, the one or more cognitive states that characterize the particular user during the period. The computing device assists the particular user to use the UI by customizing the help information for the particular user based on the one or more selected cognitive states. A complementary computing device and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: A training system operates to provide an online training system that includes an instructional portion, a performance portion and a results report. A trainer can create training modules and/or training programs and then launch a training program in which one or more users, utilizing a user system, can participate. A training program consists of one or more training modules. Each training module is configured to first run in a demonstration mode, in which the operator streams a demonstration of the physical activity required by the training module to one or more user systems. Users can thus view the demonstration of the physical activity on the user systems. The training module then enters a trial or trial mode in which each of the participants then engage in performing the physical activity. The user systems present a video/graphical display to show various performance criteria of the training module.
