Abstract
This paper presents and discusses the rapprochement between Design and Neuroscience in the design of wearable bio-interfaces based on the contributions of studies related to the environment/behavior/neuroscience paradigm and emotional processing in the human brain, regarding the identification and recognition of neurophysiological information relevant to projectual practice in Design. The article also considers the Design-Neuroscience relationship in the projectual practice of wearable computers “BioBodyGame” (2006-2008) and “NeuroBodyGame” (2008-2010) by means of which it addresses the interaction between the body of the user (neurophysiological signals and brain waves) and the computer by the use of bio-interfaces.
