This monograph presents the basic scientific principles, fundamental criteria for curriculum development, and learning-based interactive methodology that constitute Cognitive Neuroeducation (CNE), a breakthrough, nonintrusive, nonpharmacological modality for the promotion and maintenance of well-being and intervention in cognitive and behavioral disorder with the promise of full recovery therefrom.

As will be demonstrated herein, cognition, behavior, and learning may be understood as essentially interdependent terms referring to the basic interlocked mechanisms of the uniquely human social brain, mind, and behavior, and therefore CNE may be defined as a modality for optimizing positive learning outcomes that enhance cognition in the formation of well-attuned, socially integrated, self-actualizing and confident, independent behavior.

The theory and inherent principles of CNE are a direct product of a fundamental model of human behavior based on the evolution of the human brain and mind, and the unique relationship between the human brain, mind, and behavior in comparison with behavioral formation in all other taxa. CNE is unique in that it is the only modality in the fields of neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, mental health and allied fields that is strictly tied to how the human brain actually works within a tightly constructed, holistic model of the mind derived from rigorous hermeneutic and phenomenological analysis as presented herein.
