Inspiration
As a busy university student, I, like many, often have trouble staying focused when I'm watching a video or reading a long passage. I've seen through the experiences of many of my peers who struggle with ADHD that their experiences are even worse. That struggle can be catastrophic because, especially late at night when cramming for exams, students tend to miss key aspects of the content, which can be detrimental when assessed. Whether it be clubs or athletics, being involved on campus can also lead to a severe lack of time to dedicate to studying, even when managing one's time well. To make the most productive use of our time as students, I feel as though every minute should count between when a 'cram' starts, and when an exam happens: even during sleep.
What it does
- Sandbox
- Text
- Video
- Consolidation into flashcards with audio cues
- sleep ## How we built it ... ## Challenges we ran into The biggest bottleneck we faced was data collection... problems with muse battery, time constraint due to FAA, etc. ## Accomplishments that we're proud of I'm proud that I was able to create a fully encompassing platform, ## What we learned ... ## What's next for SynapStudy Running more tests on N3 sleep, potentially introducing more biofeedback sensors to better calculate attention lapses... creating saved accounts so the insights on focus lapses can be used as metrics that the user can track over time, categorizing them by subject, month, etc.
