Abstract

Recent advances in neuroscience and psychology have transformed our understanding of how the brain shapes thought, emotion, and behavior. Innovations such as neurostimulation, cognitive-behavioral interventions, neuropharmacology, and artificial intelligence (AI) have opened new frontiers in modifying brain function and redefining human thinking. This paper explores how these scientific and psychological approaches interact to enhance cognitive flexibility, emotional regulation, and problem-solving. By integrating neurobiological research with psychological frameworks, a more holistic understanding of human thinking emerges. The results demonstrate that interdisciplinary innovations are reshaping not only the science of cognition but also the philosophy of human thought itself.
