Calculating mental engagement index

Hello,
I would like to create an application using an EEG and calculate user's engagement.
I have found some papers about mental engagement index:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/221438970_Affect_and_Mental_Engagement_Towards_Adaptability_for_Intelligent

It is actually the following ratio : Beta / (Alpha + Theta).

I have no idea how to create such algorithm but I will be able, at some point. My question is: does this method needs any training / labelling phase? I suppose not but I would really like an extra opinion on this.
Thanks a lot!

    Nevermind, I am now sure it does not need any training labels. It is calculated from PSD etc.
    Thanks anyways!

    Yes, that is correct, it is using band power ratios.
