About the Journal

Digital Life, Cognitive Health, and Behavioral Futures will focus on how pervasive digital technologies reshape cognition, behaviour and social futures. It is designed to attract interdisciplinary work from psychology, neuroscience, public health, sociology, media studies and policy, with an emphasis on empirical evidence and intervention design. Its advantage lies in treating “digital life” as an integrated exposure, rather than isolating single platforms, thus providing a home for complex, multi-level analyses that are often scattered across disparate journals.

This journal covers the following topics, but not limited to: 

• Effects of smartphones, social media and gaming on cognition across the lifespan.
• Digital addiction, compulsive use patterns and behavioural disorders.
• Algorithmic curation, echo chambers and identity formation in online settings.
• Neurocognitive mechanisms related to screen exposure and multitasking.
• Digital wellbeing interventions, preventive strategies and longitudinal studies of digital exposure.
• Academic performance, productivity outcomes and methodological tools for measuring online behaviour.
• Public health, regulatory responses and cross cultural perspectives on digital environments.
• Ethical and philosophical implications of digital life and post digital human behaviour.
