Abstract
This study aims to analyze the relationship between brainwave activity and the learning readiness of students with disabilities by utilizing EEG (Electroencephalography) signals. EEG signals are used to detect the brain's electrical activity that reflects mental states, including focus, concentration, and readiness to receive learning. This study was conducted at SLB 'Aisyiyah Krian with a quantitative approach through EEG signal measurement before and during the learning process. The results showed a significant correlation between the dominance of alpha and beta waves with learning readiness, while the dominance of theta and delta waves indicated unpreparedness. These findings provide a foundation for the development of a more inclusive, objective, and adaptive neurotechnology-based learning approach for students with disabilities.
