Cognitive-Adaptive Learning project develops knowledge about neurophysiological mechanisms of learning and cognitive enhancement. Scientific Institute for Natural Neurostimulation (SINN) in cooperation with Riga Nordic University (RNU) investigates the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying learning and cognition, aiming to enhance teaching efficiency and develop evidence-based methods that strengthen cognitive performance, particularly in online and hybrid education settings.
In collaboration with RNU, SINN conducts long-term interdisciplinary research dedicated to designing teaching courses that evaluate attention, memory, and information processing speed of students during the educational process to tailor education courses to students' cognitive abilities. In the framework of this research, parties also develop non-invasive techniques to improve cognitive functions in the clinical context.
The outcomes of this research are expected to contribute not only to pedagogical innovation but also to the advancement of neuro-rehabilitation and cognitive enhancement methods.
This direction is led by Research Professor Igor Val Danilov, Ph.D.(c), and Professor Dr. Antonina Djakona, who bring extensive expertise in neurophysiology, cognitive science, psychology, and biomedical engineering.
Under their supervision, the research team explores the potential of computerized systems as tools for boosting learning efficiency and non-invasive natural neurostimulation-based techniques as supportive instruments in neurological therapy and stress-related disorders.
The research combines neuroscience, cognitive sciences, applied psychology, and educational technology.
