Mobile psychophysiological technologies, such as portable eye tracking, electroencephalography, and functional near-infrared spectroscopy, are advancing ecologically valid findings in cognitive and educational neuroscience research. Staying informed on the field's current status and main themes requires continuous updates. Here, we conducted a bibliometric and text-based content analysis on 135 articles from Web of Science, specifically parsing publication trends, identifying prolific journals, authors, institutions, and countries, along with influential articles, and visualizing the characteristics of cooperation among authors, institutions, and countries. Using a keyword co-occurrence analysis, five clusters of research trends were identified: (i) cognitive and emotional processes, intelligent education, and motor learning; (ii) professional vision and collaborative learning; (iii) face-to-face social learning and real classroom learning; (iv) cognitive load and spatial learning; and (v) virtual reality-based learning, child learning, and technology-assisted special education. These trends illustrate a consistent growth in the use of portable technologies in education over the past 20 years and an emerging shift towards "naturalistic" approaches, with keywords such as "face-to-face" and "real-world" gaining prominence. These observations underscore the need to further generalize the current research to real-world classroom settings and call for interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers and educators. Also, combining multimodal technologies and conducting longitudinal studies will be essential for a comprehensive understanding of teaching and learning processes.
移动心理生理技术，如便携式眼动追踪、脑电图和功能性近红外光谱技术，正在推动认知和教育神经科学研究中具有生态学效度的研究成果。了解该领域的当前状况和主要主题需要不断更新。在此，我们对来自科学网的135篇文章进行了文献计量和基于文本的内容分析，具体剖析了出版趋势，确定了多产期刊、作者、机构和国家，以及有影响力的文章，并可视化了作者、机构和国家之间的合作特征。通过关键词共现分析，确定了五个研究趋势集群：（i）认知和情感过程、智能教育和运动学习；（ii）专业视觉和协作学习；（iii）面对面社会学习和真实课堂学习；（iv）认知负荷和空间学习；以及（v）基于虚拟现实的学习、儿童学习和技术辅助特殊教育。这些趋势表明，在过去20年中，便携式技术在教育中的应用持续增长，并且正朝着“自然主义”方法的方向出现新的转变，诸如“面对面”和“现实世界”等关键词越来越突出。这些观察结果强调了将当前研究进一步推广到现实课堂环境的必要性，并呼吁研究人员和教育工作者之间进行跨学科合作。此外，结合多模态技术并开展纵向研究对于全面理解教学过程至关重要。
