Neurocognitive enhancement in organizations: Challenges and opportunities

Neurocognitive enhancement is one of the possible options proposed by neuroscience discipline to optimize and maximize workers' neurocognitive efficiency and behavioral performance at the workplace. It involves the adoption of neuroscience techniques able to influence the activity of neural structures and networks sub-serving cognitive skills and supporting cognitive performance. In this contribution the combined integration of non-invasive neurofeedback wearable device with mindfulness-based practice proves to be the current fittest and more appropriate mental training for all professionals in the company context. Three applied protocols will be described to highlight how neuroenhancement could promote well-being at work by increasing neurocognitive efficiency of workers (at every level, from junior to senior positions), and consequently it could augment workers' quality of life by improving their performance. Last but not least, neuroenhancement could also act as a preventive intervention for age management at the workplace, given its efficacy in preventing cognitive decline and strengthening attention regulation.
