What is cyberpsychology?

Cyberpsychology seeks to understand the intersection between humans and technology. At its heart, its mission is to explore the digitally-connected human experience, in relation to how digital technology relates to our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. 

Digital Brain Interface

Cyberpsychology covers a broad range of topics and is well suited to understanding applied issues such as; social media use, gaming, and online therapy. Cyberpsychology also is more than just about understanding individual user behaviour with technology; it also has wider societal implications including; political impacts, business strategy, and healthcare practice.
