A chapter in Design Thinking Research, 2021, pp 357-425 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Neurodesign is a novel field of research, education and practice that emerges as a cross-disciplinary initiative. In 2019, the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) offered for the first time a neurodesign curriculum. The objective of neurodesign as we pursue it is to explore synergies at the intersection of (i) neuroscience, (ii) engineering and (iii) design thinking · creativity · collaboration · innovation. In this chapter, we share insights into the development of a curriculum that quickly became more comprehensive than we had anticipated for this initial implementation phase. Neurodesign evolves serendipitously driven by the passions of numerous protagonists who contribute their expertise, ideas and work results in a uniquely collaborative fashion. The chapter briefly summarizes input provided by neuroscientists and creative engineers from several countries and different continents, who contributed guest expert talks at the HPI to help build up a joint knowledge base. The major part of the chapter is a review of neurodesign projects that have emerged, often in collaboration with guest experts of the program. Overall, these projects indicate how intersections of neurodesign (i)–(ii)–(iii) open up cornucopias of opportunities. Especially the integration of engineering expertise has introduced many favourable dynamics. In terms of strategic reflections, this chapter shares “missions” we pursue in the development of neurodesign. These directions for further initiatives also commence a brief outlook on upcoming neurodesign developments.
