Neurophysiological Foundations and Effects of Contemporary Digital Technologies

Journal: European Journal of Information Systems

Manuscript deadline: 31 August 2026

This special issue explores how AI and other contemporary digital technologies affect human cognition, emotion, decision-making, and social interaction, with a strong focus on neurophysiological and related biological foundations. It welcomes theory-driven and methodologically rigorous work using neuroscience, psychophysiology, and even genetic perspectives to study how people respond to digital systems in work, consumption, and everyday life.

Special Issue Editors

• René Riedl, University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria & Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria.

• Jan vom Brocke, University of Münster, Germany.

• Jella Pfeiffer, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany.

• Robert Gleasure, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark.

What the issue seeks

The call emphasizes NeuroIS as an interdisciplinary field linking neuroscience and information systems, and it encourages research that connects neural-level evidence to observable behavior and self-report data. It is especially interested in topics such as cognitive debt, automation bias, algorithm aversion, trust, stress, team coordination, neuroadaptive design, and the long-term effects of AI and digitally intensive work.

Submission details

Two-page abstracts were due on 31 March 2026, and first-round paper submissions are due on 31 August 2026.
