Neurodesign: Embracing neuroscience instruments to investigate human collaboration in design

Abstract

The NeuroDesign Special Interest Group (SIG) introduces an initiative that seeks synergies at the intersection of digital engineering, neurocognitive science, and design research. It focuses on examining designers’ thinking (i.e., creativity and collaboration) in particular in team settings. This SIG aims to advance the understanding of neurocognition associated with design teamwork. This initiative will address a critical gap in the field of the complex and context-dependent effects of design team collaboration. The main legacies will be the establishment and development of a community in the intersection of design, psychology, and neurocognitive science.
