Artificial intelligence, digital tools and new forms of work are currently changing the world of work dramatically. While this offers opportunities, it also creates new challenges. Two of the biggest are stress and lack of exercise. At a forum in Stuttgart organised by the Training and Neuroscience working group at Paderborn University and the Applied Neurocognitive Systems team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering (IAO), experts will be presenting innovative approaches from the fields of psychology, neuroscience and sports science on Wednesday, 21 February from 10.00 am to 5.15 pm. The event will focus on individual stress and strain in relation to physical and mental health in everyday working life.
From a neuroscientific perspective, the working group deals with training science issues within the research fields of performance and health. In addition to classic training science research, the team analyses cortical and (cortico)muscular activities, among other things, which can be used in connection with the diagnosis, design and evaluation of training to restore or maintain performance and health.
In addition to presentations by experts, exhibitor and panel discussions are planned in which the various methods will be discussed. The event is aimed at decision-makers from business, human resources, occupational health management, managing directors, stakeholders (Chamber of Industry and Commerce, employers' liability insurance associations, health insurance companies) and scientists from the fields of neuroscience, sports science, psychology and labour science. Further information can be found on the event website.
