A method and system for concentration detection. The method for concentration detection comprises the steps of extracting temporal features from brain signals; classifying the extracted temporal features using a classifier to give a score x1; extracting spectral-spatial features from brain signals; selecting spectral- spatial features containing discriminative information between concentration and non-concentration states from the set of extracted spectral-spatial features; classifying the selected spectral-spatial features using a classifier to give a score x2; combining the scores x1 and x2 to give a single score and determining if the subject is in a concentration state based on the single score.
