The only private research laboratory in cognitive and behavioral applied neuroscience in the country, located in Uberlândia, develops research to transform the qualification of people.
The processes of teaching and learning are essential for the development of individuals and for life in society, as they involve the exchange of information with defined objectives. However, emphasizing only the social characteristics of these processes can hinder the development of people. This is because teaching and learning are, essentially, neurobiological phenomena, and to be effective, the education of people requires more efficient methods based on neuroscience research.
In this context, Bittar Neurociência was created, the only private research laboratory in cognitive and behavioral applied neuroscience in Brazil, whose research is aimed at developing solutions to manage and qualify people. Through the mapping of cognitive and behavioral activities, it is possible to develop techniques and methods to increase productivity, optimize learning, and manage focus and attention. The laboratory also develops teaching methodologies with Virtual Reality resources. Click here to learn more.
It is important to note that, in the field of science, there has been significant progress in understanding the formation and storage of brain memories, but questions about how knowledge is constructed and expressed in the brain still need to be understood. It is also necessary to evaluate pedagogical techniques from a neuroscientific perspective to facilitate the processing and application of knowledge.
This transformation in the way of teaching and learning will directly impact all fields of life and is fundamental to helping address the educational and economic crises the world is facing. The current scenario demands more qualified people who know how to deal with complex problems while acting productively. Because if what exists does not work, someone has to move forward.
