Recently, there has been a growing interest in human mind reading by monitoring brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG).The literature on the application of EEG in education has since grown. The paper therefore aimed to review the research evidence of the EEG use in the education field since this technology is new and not commonly used in education. EEG tests are commonly used in health and clinical diagnoses. Data were collected from bibliographic databases and key research journals (journal articles and journal proceedings). Throughout the review, the resources were chosen based on specific criteria for inclusion, followed by a standardised evaluation process to ensure commonality and comprehensiveness. This information is important to further EEG employment in the didactic field and study of brain activity of learners during teaching and learning process
