A Comprehensive study on navigating the Integration of Neuropsychology and Cybersecurity

Abstract

Advancements in neuroscience, cybernetics, and psychology have catalyzed the nascent interdisciplinary field of neuropsychology and cybersecurity(neurocyberpsychology). This emerging area of research investigates the intricate interactions between the human brain, cognition, and technological systems synthesizing the prime developments in the origin, growth, conceptualisation, methods, applications and future horizons. Early roots lie in the cybernetics as well as neural, cognitive, and social psychological sciences provided historical groundwork for present-day neurocyberpsychology. Core conceptual frameworks integrate theories of neural computation, extended cognition, neuroplasticity, and human-computer interaction. Neuro-imaging, data mining, brain-computer interfacing, and virtual reality techniques comprise main research methodologies. Major current foci include augmented cognition, brain-computer interfaces for motor and sensory function, cognitive neural modelling, virtual reality systems, and impacts of social media and video games on the brain. Clinical uses are also emerging in neural prosthetics, neuro-feedback therapies, and technological aids for psychological conditions. At the same time, neuroethical considerations spotlight dilemmas regarding security, identity, normality, addiction, and human dignity within an increasingly computerized society. To advance human flourishing amidst accelerating technological immersion, the review highlights priorities around integrative knowledge, cognitive augmentation, participatory research, interdisciplinary learning, and compassionate ethics.
