Hypothesis
How can neuroscientific and neurotechnological solutions contribute to the development of smart cities?
Conclusion
Integrating human dimensions with technology is crucial for realizing the vision of smart cities.
Supporting Evidence
- Smart city research is fragmented and heavily technology-driven.
- Neuroscience can enhance urban design by addressing human needs and behaviors.
- Real-time sensing designs inspired by the brain can improve urban systems.
Takeaway
This study looks at how brain science can help make cities better for people by using technology wisely.
Methodology
The study conducted a bibliometric analysis of literature on smart cities using data from the Scopus database between 2018 and 2022.
Potential Biases
Potential risks include prioritizing short-term technological gains over long-term societal needs.
Limitations
The analysis is primarily quantitative and may not capture the full depth of the research landscape.
