RECLAIMING THE MIND: NEUROSCIENCE INFORMED APPROACHES TO COGNITIVE AND EMOTIONAL REGULATION

These chapters integrate individual, technological, and societal strategies to restore control over digital environments and prepare for their evolution. A structured, neuroscience informed digital detox recalibrates reward, stress, and attentional systems by lowering cortisol, improving sleep and autonomic balance, restoring natural reward sensitivity, and disrupting maladaptive habit loops through environmental design, mindfulness, and values based behaviour change. Emerging tools wearables, biofeedback, neurofeedback, and AI personalization enable objective monitoring of stress, sleep, and attention but require rigorous validation and safeguards against misuse, dependency, and bias. At the population level, digital well-being is framed as a public health priority requiring surveillance, prevention, education, ethical platform design, and enforceable regulation to protect neurodevelopment. As AI, AR/VR, and brain computer interfaces converge, a "Neuro-Era" emerges, demanding rights based governance and human centered design to preserve autonomy, privacy, and cognitive freedom.
