Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The article presents an interesting case study on a neurophysiological evaluation of students’ experience at a driving school during remote and face-to-face lessons. It is a very interesting article.
Comments and suggestions
· Minor format issues
Abstract. - remove space between lines 18-19; 25-26; 30-31, Or even writing the whole abstract in a single paragraph.
In-presence (line 147); IN-PRESENCE (previous to line 163; in the text related to Figure 2); In Presence (line 275 and line 286); In presence (previous to line 280; in the text related to Figure 5).
The same that happens with In-presence happens with Remote.
Line 226.- ‘…estimate. the tonic...’ -> delete the point
Additional considerations
Optional. - Some additional references about engagement in online formats could be included to enrich the introductions section.
Future lines are included in the Discussion section. However, limitations of the research are not mentioned.

Reviewer 3 Report
Dear authors,
Congratulations on your manuscript.
It is very well written regarding content and results.
Nevertheless, I have some suggestions:
1. keywords: I would add words such as face-to-face, remote, neurophysiological approach, learning performance, instead of neuroscience, education, learning, and neuroimaging;
2. in the introduction section it is clear what is the aim but I lack specific objectives such as for instance, "students' cognitive experience" and their "performance";
3. in the methods section please explain the choice of the driving school and the sample (which is small);
4. Please detail and explain the limitations of the study in the discussion section including the lack of gaussianity distribution as the number of valid answers (n=35);
5. In future studies, in the conclusions section, it would be very interesting to investigate and test the effectiveness of the different modalities regarding students´ cognitive experience and their learning performance.
Compliments,
