Cyberneuropsychology: The new field for the new era

With emerging technological advancements, current fields of study overlap significantly, but fall short independently at providing a comprehensive picture of technology's positive and negative influences on humans, society, and neuropsychological development. This presentation explores the need and effectiveness for the field of cyberneuropsychology by sharing examples of the structural and functional effects of technology on our brains. Pulling from both cyberpsychology and neuropsychology, cyberneuropsychology provides a comprehensive view of how technology impacts society; including socialization, economics, privacy, government and corporate (legal) involvement, the gaming industry, media channels, and mental and physical health.
