Frontiers in Neuroergonomics is an interdisciplinary journal that explores the neural mechanisms underlying human perceptual, cognitive, and motor functioning in natural and synthetic settings. This DOAJ indexed journal is led by Field Chief Editors Prof Hasan Ayaz (Drexel University, USA), Prof Frederic Dehais (Institut Supérieur de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace, ISAE-SUPAERO, France), and Prof Waldemar Karwowski (University of Central Florida, USA). Frontiers in Neuroergonomics seeks submissions that advance the application of neuroscience and neuroengineering to human factors, ergonomics, and engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: brain aging and injury brain-computer interfaces and human-machine teaming brain health and cognitive development brain imaging and neuro/biosignal analysis decision-making and executive functioning motor control and physical performance neural engineering and technology neuro/biofeedback mechanisms neuro-rehabilitation neuro-inspired system design neuroadaptive technologies neurocognitive assessment and enhancement neurostimulation methods perception, attention, and cognition situational awareness and cognitive load skill acquisition and learning processes social interaction and communication virtual and augmented reality. The journal particularly welcomes studies on novel approaches, design tools, methodologies, techniques, and solutions for understanding the human brain at work and in everyday life. It also welcomes studies that support and advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 3: good health and well-being; and SDG 9: industry, innovation, and infrastructure. Frontiers in Neuroergonomics is committed to the theory and application of neuroscience and neuroengineering to ergonomics and everyday settings by communicating scientific knowledge to researchers and the public alike, to enable the scientific breakthroughs of the future. AI for Neuroergonomics Prize Frontiers’ journals require that manuscripts primarily comprising computational studies of public data, must include appropriate validation. Please refer to the Frontiers Standards for research methodology policy, for more information. Manuscripts not adhering to these standards will not be considered. Sponsored by Artificial and Natural Intelligence Toulouse Institute (ANITI), Frontiers in Neuroergonomics launched the AI for Neuroergonomics Prize for the best paper to showcase the innovative use of artificial intell
