Remote neuroempowerment protocols show promise for enhancing well-being in healthy adults. Combining digital feedback with embodied practices improves attention and reduces stress, but more rigorous research is needed.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Neuroscience
- Digital Health
Background:
- Remote, self-managed neuroempowerment protocols are emerging for psychophysical well-being.
- These interventions integrate positive psychology, applied psychophysiology, and embodied awareness.
- Wearable technologies and digital platforms are increasingly used for self-regulated training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the literature on remote, self-managed neuroempowerment interventions for healthy individuals.
- To evaluate interventions based on a triadic model of subjective well-being (neurocognitive efficiency, psychological balance, physical fitness).
- To identify limitations and suggest future research directions.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review of 28 studies meeting inclusion criteria.
- Focus on home-based interventions for healthy adults using specific techniques.
- Systematic search across major scientific databases.
Main Results:
- Interventions show improvements in attention regulation, stress reduction, and subjective well-being.
- Combined digital feedback and embodied practices are particularly effective.
- Methodological limitations include overreliance on self-report and lack of objective measures.
Conclusions:
- Remote neuroempowerment interventions show potential for enhancing well-being.
- Need for more rigorous research with objective, multimodal assessments.
- Advocacy for integrative, adaptive models supported by wearable neurotechnologies for sustainable, participant-centered well-being.
