Educational multimedia design principles affect local and global information processing in functional brain networks by Mohammadhossein Ostadi, Masoumeh Golmohamadian, Alireza Bosaghzadeh, S. Hamid Amiri, Reza Ebrahimpour

“…Two distinct multimedia programs were constructed using identical auditory content but differing visual designs: one adhered to five guidelines for optimizing multimedia instruction, referred to as principal multimedia, while the other intentionally violated these guidelines, referred to as non-principal multimedia. Cortical functional brain networks were then extracted from EEG data to evaluate local and global information processing across the two conditions. …”
