Abstract:
This article aims to identify the importance of markers at the neurophysiological, physiological, and behavioral levels of mental states linked to the performance of workers as an influence in the field of neuroscience and psychology at work. The author discusses the emergence of neuroergonomy as an area of neuroscience principles and cognitive psychology related to human factors for fundamentals of analysis in brain dynamics, mainly through the use of noninvasive tools, such as the use of electroencephalography for physiological aspects of mental exhaustion of the worker. Neuroergonomics is seen as fundamental for the investigation of complex relationships of organizations, especially when interacting with technology. Future research should involve more complex team-building scenarios and enrich the different neuroergonomic solutions.
