| Summary: | In an ever-changing world, it is essential to integrate different
disciplines to create user-centred products and services.
Design alone cannot fully understand the needs and require-
ments of the end users, nor the emotions and mental states
they feel when they experience the product. There is a need
for a multidisciplinary work that brings together the skills of
designers with the most sophisticated neurotechnologies on
the market. Neuroergonomics is an applied discipline that
arises from the joint efforts of neuroscience and ergonomi-
cs. It uses existing knowledge about human behaviour and
brain functioning to identify human-friendly technologies
and interfaces and to support the design of safer and more
efficient work environments that can increase worker well-
being, while maximizing productivity. Thus, it can establish a
reference framework for decision-making in the architectural
and industrial design sector, focusing on central factors that
affect people’s reactions and behaviors.
