Overview

Our built environment changes our brain function. There is considerable interest from many research fields upon the positive and negative health and wellbeing effects of our environments. This research area explores how architectural environments and spaces impact experience and mood using wearable brain-imaging technology.

Research activities

  • Developing neuro-spatial knowledge.
  • Developing neuro-imaging scanning, data processing and analysis protocols.
  • Developing experimental spatial environments for testing.
  • Designing neuro-spatial research plans.

Outcomes

  • Develop new knowledge in spatial research.
  • Create linkages between neuroscience and architectural/spatial fields.
  • Develop a community of neuro-spatial practice.
  • Provide quantitative data that will help to develop better built environments for health and wellbeing.

Skills and experience

  • Bachelor Architecture, Interior, Landscape Design.
  • Practice experience in architecture, interior, health and landscape domains.
