Neurocognitive self-empowerment in occupational and managerial contexts: contribution of mindfulness-based neurofeedback protocols

Abstract

Over the past few years, the importance of applied neuroscience to organizational and professional contexts has grown. The term "neuromanagement" is used in literature to describe this research area. To enhance and/or modify the attitudes and motivations of the diverse professionals working within organizations, neuromanagement took, during the years, the form of a discipline aimed at understanding all those cognitive processes. To distinguish and compare the various neuropsychological peculiarities and identify the individual-specific factors determining the optimization of performance, this paper initially aims to highlight the significance of implementing multi-factorial evaluation procedures. Furthermore, evaluate the contribution of mindfulness-based neurofeedback protocols, considering recent neuroscientific research, and emphasize their use in highlevel professional contexts.
