The aim of this work is to explore and analyse brain activity in the learning process, in a face-to-face university environment, using neurotechnology. This study employs neurotechnologies to measure cognitive processing during an academic internship experience in a university degree programme. The neurotechnologies used in the study include galvanic skin response (GSR) and electroencephalography (EEG). These tools allow measuring different aspects of cognitive processing, such as emotional response (GSR) and brain electrical activity (EEG). The analysis of the brain recordings focuses on key learning variables, such as attention, interest, stress and emotional connection (engagement). These aspects are assessed in the context of a face-to-face educational environment, providing valuable information on how the completion of an industrial manufacturing process internship affects these cognitive processes. The results obtained allow us to quantify the value of the key learning variables through specific brain signals, identifying the keys to a laboratory practice using machinery for this specific environment, providing valuable information to design and improve future learning experiences.
