A Computer application that puts back a wandering mind
Use this software when you’re working or studying and it will figure out when your mind is wandering and put it back on track.
Sidney D’Mello and Robert Bixler from the Department of Psychology at the University of Notre Dame in the US have developed an interface that’s intelligent enough to identify when its users are zoning out and take measures to increase their concentration.

If the software picks up on what looks like waning concentration, it will pause the session, send a notification to the user and highlight the missed content for them to read over again.
The software also has applications in improving study materials for high school and university courses because it can figure out how engaged the students are as they’re using study materials at home, and can identify which content causes a lapse in concentration.
According to New Scientist, the first version of the ‘mind wandering detector’ is expected to be ready in months.
