Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a brain state sensor configured to measure brain state values representing cognitive engagement, wherein the brain state sensor is included in a wearable technology device;
a location-based sensor;
one or more processors of one or more mobile devices; and a
non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processor, cause the one or more mobile devices of the system to at least:
provide a series of physiological self-regulation challenges for a participant, with each of the physiological self-regulation challenges separate but related to a respective one of a series of predefined activities for the participant, with the predefined activities each at a respective predefined spaced-apart location and related to a respective one of the physiological self-regulation skills;
receive respective physiological self-regulation goals for the self-regulation challenges, wherein the physiological self-regulation goals comprise achieving by self-regulation a respective target brain state conducive to learning or problem solving, and wherein the target brain states are selected for enhanced performing of the respective predefined activities;
receive a current location of the participant from the location-based sensor, and in response, determining that the participant is within a range of one of the predefined spaced apart locations, determine the predefined activity corresponding to the predefined location and determining the respective self-regulation challenge for the determined one of the predefined activities;
receive brain state values representing cognitive engagement from the brain wave sensor while the participant is at the predefined location prior to the participant participating in the predefined activity;
compare the measured physiological brain state of the participant to the target brain state of a physiological self-regulation goal for the determined self-regulation challenge;
cause a mobile communication device to communicate to the participant whether or not the participant has achieved the physiological self-regulation goal for the determined self-regulation challenge; and
based upon a determination that the participant achieves the physiological self-regulation goal, provide the participant with a predefined reward that includes required information or required access for performing the predefined activity at the predefined location, location information for a next one of the predefined locations, or both,
wherein the participant benefits from improvement in the physiological self-regulation skills and improvement in the ability to complete the predefined activities as the participant advances through the physiological self-regulation challenges and the predefined activities at the predefined spaced-apart locations.
