摘要

This study presents a comprehensive investigation into attention mechanism optimization in choral conducting education through the integration of electroencephalography (EEG) and eye movement tracking technologies with transfer learning algorithms. The research addresses the critical gap in objective assessment methods for conducting instruction by developing an integrated multi-modal physiological monitoring system specifically adapted for conducting pedagogy that captures neural activity patterns and visual attention allocation during conducting exercises. A sophisticated attention mechanism model was constructed using deep learning architectures that integrate EEG spectral features with eye tracking spatial-temporal data, achieving 94.2% accuracy (95% CI: 93.8–94.6%) in conducting gesture recognition across 48 participants and 2847 conducting trials. The transfer learning framework successfully leveraged knowledge from related musical domains to enhance instruction efficiency, reducing average skill acquisition time by 34% while maintaining superior performance outcomes. This efficiency metric requires careful definition and interpretation. Skill acquisition time was operationalized as the cumulative instruction hours required for a participant to achieve 80% accuracy on standardized conducting competency assessments. These assessments, developed in consultation with three certified conducting instructors (mean teaching experience: 18.3 years), evaluated 12 conducting techniques across three difficulty levels. Each technique was scored on a 0–10 scale using detailed rubrics (Supplementary Material S3) covering beat clarity, dynamic indication, preparatory gestures, and ensemble coordination cues. Inter-rater reliability was high (ICC = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.87–0.94; Fleiss’ κ = 0.86 for categorical ratings). The 34% reduction represents mean time savings of 17.8 h (95% CI: 14.9–20.7 h), with traditional instruction requiring 52.3 ± 8.6 h versus 34.5 ± 5.1 h for the proposed method (paired t-test: t(47) = 11.24, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 2.41). We emphasize that this result was obtained under controlled experimental conditions with motivated participants and standardized curricula. Generalization to diverse educational contexts warrants further investigation, and we recommend interpreting this improvement as a promising indication rather than a guaranteed outcome for all implementations. The comprehensive evaluation across multiple educational institutions demonstrated significant improvements in teaching effectiveness, with attention management enhancement of 31.2% and learning satisfaction increase of 30.6% compared to traditional instruction methods. The personalized learning path recommendation system achieved 92.3% correlation with expert instructor assessments, confirming the system’s capability to optimize individual learning trajectories based on physiological feedback and cognitive characteristics. These findings establish a robust foundation for evidence-based instructional design in music education and demonstrate the practical utility of integrating neurophysiological monitoring with machine learning algorithms for enhanced pedagogical effectiveness in complex motor-cognitive skill acquisition domains.
