Applied Neuroscience in Business

About the Course

Applied Neuroscience in Business is the study related to the influences of this incredible field of knowledge on various sciences. Considering that everything we perceive is a consequence of what our sensory field absorbs from the external environment, understanding how our biology works for thought construction can provide us with important conditions to understand human behavior in various aspects. As long as relational bases are directed from Humans to Humans, the more we know how we function, the greater the chances of positive approximation.

Objectives

The proposal of this formation lies in the analysis, convergence, and relationship of the set of studies and facts from various fields of science and their impacts through Neuroscience and Psychology, and how their research brings us information on how to align specific strategies for these fields of knowledge, where these actions influence important points of the perception of the Human Mind.

Although modern society has the unprecedented development of Artificial Intelligence as a tool of great support for the vast majority of our activities, making us to a certain extent dependent on this requirement to improve and develop our performance, the fact is that humans still… Design, Humans build, Humans Buy, Humans sell, Humans are at all ends of the business chain… And therefore are the foundation of any relationship.

One of the most important neuroscientists today, Portuguese António Damásio, is the author of a phrase considered one of the great revolutions of our century: “We are not machines that think and feel, but machines that feel that think.”

This phrase presents the fundamental relationship of priority of emotional elements over rationality, in such a way that our rationality inevitably influences emotions, consequently our decision-making, and consequently our behavior.

This formation seeks to navigate through diverse fields of knowledge in order to present possibilities that opening up to new worlds can bring great advantages. In other words, when there is interaction between sciences, new solutions can be brought to light, allowing the opening of doors for innovation and competitive advantages.

Our proposal starts from the premise that interacting with new areas is growing more, it is managing to find and provide a portfolio of more assertive solutions, observed, and built under different perspectives in such a way that it becomes much more complete and effective.
