Neuro-Ergonomics

Meaning

An interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of neuroscience and cognitive psychology to the design of environments, tools, and work systems to optimize human brain function and minimize cognitive strain. The goal is to maximize mental performance, reduce errors, and enhance the overall well-being of the individual by creating a neurobiologically compatible workspace. This involves tailoring external factors to the inherent limitations and capabilities of the human attention and memory systems. It is a scientific approach to creating a high-performance cognitive environment.
