Using design thinking principles to create games that address real-world challenges, from mental health (rehabilitation as well) to social interaction, based on neural and cognitive mechanisms is really fascinating! #CognitiveScience

Using techniques such as rapid prototyping, empathy mapping, and iterative feedback, designers can craft games that target key neural circuits involved in attention, memory, and empathy. #GameDesign

By embedding a neuroscience and cognitive science-informed approach into the design thinking process, we can empower future designers to create games that not only entertain but also foster cognitive development. #GameDesignEducation

- Promote social learning by simulating complex social scenarios that engage mirror neurons, helping players develop empathy and social awareness. This is where design thinking plays a pivotal role in game design. #Neuroplasticity

Research shows that well-designed games can: - Enhance working memory and cognitive flexibility by creating environments that challenge players to think on their feet. - Improve decision-making and problem-solving skills through adaptive feedback loops.

When paired with design thinking, the potential for innovation in game design education becomes truly exciting. Games are not just immersive worlds—they are powerful tools for influencing the brain's learning circuits. #DesignThinking

As game design continues to evolve, neuroscience offers insights into how games can influence socio-cognitive development—from executive functions to social cognition and emotional regulation. #CognitiveDevelopment

 🧠 Neuroscience, Game Design, and Design Thinking: Games influence not just how we entertain ourselves but also how we think, feel, and interact with the world. #NeuroscienceInGames
