A Proposed NLP-BCI Framework to Integrate Neuroscience Research into Neuro-Linguistic Programming

Kashvi Gupta, Dr. Aruna Tyagi

Abstract: Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a psychological approach that reprograms our brains to manipulate our ideas and actions because language, behaviour, and neurological processes are all interconnected. NLP has been utilized widely ever since it was first recognized as a useful tool for human growth. Numerous fields, including counselling, medicine, law, business, sports, and education, have found use for neuro-linguistic programming. Despite its popularity, NLP has often been criticized and labelled a pseudoscience. Critics argue that its theoretical foundations are not grounded in established psychology, and most studies examining its efficacy are anecdotal, small-scale, or methodologically weak. Therefore, the integration of NLP with Neuroscience research offers a promising path to investigate this conflict. In the present investigation, an NLP-BCI framework through the integration of NLP, Neuroscience, and BCI for the empirical validation of NLP has been proposed.
