The objective of this study was to assess the Immersive Learning Laboratory in Health and Nursing (LIASE), with a focus on the key themes of biosafety in health and the learning process of undergraduate nursing students at a federal public university. This was achieved through the use of a portable electroencephalogram (EEG), in conjunction with the Emotiv Insight 2.0, observation, and Intrinsic Motivation Inventory. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques, to gain insights into the effectiveness of a pilot virtual laboratory developed in Second Life (SL). The sample consisted of 17 students who met the study’s inclusion criteria. Nine of these students exhibited stable EEG signals. The students were observed while their brain activity was monitored by EEG, and at the conclusion of the proposed learning path, they completed the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory. The results were obtained by triangulating the different collection instruments and the variables—stress, enthusiasm/excitement, engagement, focus/attention, and relaxation—measured and verified by analyzing brain waves using the Emotiv algorithm, whose algorithm and which correspond to brain performance metrics.
