Annotation: This article examines the most effective historical and contemporary psychophysiological approaches to optimizing work processes and their evolution toward personalized human-centered technologies. Current approaches to designing ergonomic work environments influenced by neuroscience and real-time brain activity monitoring technologies are analyzed. Research results on various neuromonitoring methods and their implementation in human resource management systems for occupational disease prevention and enhancement of worker productivity are demonstrated. Prospects for integrating neurotechnologies into workplace design systems and creating adaptive production environments are considered.
Keywords: neuroergonomics, ergonomics, biofeedback, EEG, cognitive load, psychophysiological design, workplace optimization.
