Abstract
This study reveals the potential of synthetic learning, which in our case involves the combination of virtual reality (VR), neurotraining, and biofeedback methods to create optimal learning conditions. We found that the use of VR contributes to an increase in students’ level of meditation and concentration during learning, which can improve their academic performance. Additionally, we explored the potential of neurotraining using biofeedback methods to develop students’ cognitive skills in foreign language learning. The future application of neurobiological feedback in language education holds promise. Advances in this technology will make it more accessible and facilitate the development of effective methods for foreign language instruction. The findings of this study confirm that biofeedback can be an effective tool for cultivating meditation and attention skills. Analyzing the use of neurogadgets in conjunction with VR-based learning provides a more comprehensive understanding of the possibilities for enhancing student engagement and material retention. Overall, our results underscore the significance of employing neurogadgets and biofeedback methods in immersive VR environments, offering a more comprehensive view of how the combination of these technologies can enhance student engagement and deepen material retention. The authors emphasize the importance and point out the prospects for the development of these technologies in education in the future.
