Convergencia de la neuroeducación y la inteligencia artificial en entornos educativos: enfoques innovadores para potenciar el rendimiento cognitivo

The convergence between neuroeducation and artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as an innovative field transforming educational systems by promoting adaptive pedagogical approaches centred on students’ mental processes. Combining insights from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and education, neuroeducation facilitates methodologies aligned with brain functioning, while AI provides technological tools that personalise learning according to individual characteristics, enhancing cognitive development in a dynamic and inclusive manner. This study conducted a systematic and qualitative review of research, institutional experiences, and applications in higher education across Ecuador, Colombia, and Mexico, identifying emerging pedagogical strategies that redesign teaching practices and strengthen student cognitive performance based on scientific evidence and advanced technology. Applying rigorous criteria under the PRISMA protocol, recent studies with empirical support and regional relevance were prioritised, concluding that the integration of neuroeducation and artificial intelligence drives more personalised, adaptive, and inclusive learning processes, generating a positive impact on higher education in these countries.
