Foundations of Human-Computer Interaction: Designing for Cognitive Alignment covers the fundamentals of human-computer interaction (HCI), usability, and user-centered design. It provides a holistic and engaging exploration of HCI by integrating historical perspectives, behavioral and cognitive insights, neuroscientific principles, and advanced technological tools. The book also discusses contemporary challenges such as dark patterns and surveillance capitalism, and offers an understanding of ethics and code of conduct to enable both students and practitioners to take their thinking and designs forward in a responsible way into the marketplace.

The book's pedagogy emphasizes interactive learning, critical thinking, and iterative design processes, making the content accessible and engaging for both novices and advanced learners.
