Visit to Kultur och Hälsa 1. Interview
Today I had the chance to visit Kultur och Hälsa, in World Culture museum, and had a very informative meeting with Gunnar and Cecilia Bjursell.
After reading or struggling to read all the medical texts about neuroscience and brain stimuli, hearing what is actually going on from people who are actually involved in research, was much more effective. It was really inspiring to hear how our brain really works, and how incredibly our brain is capable to recover itself with stimuli.
Enriching environments for brain stimuli, is important since it makes our brain work, think. Gunnar summarizes it with one simple sentence: Use it or lose it.
Music and paintings are triggering the thinking function of the brain, so our brain starts to work and snap cells in the brain start developing neurons. Any kind of stimuli is simply essential, and in all levels of brain injuries ("stroke" is the term they use for brain injury).
Most of their studies are about cultural facts affecting brain stimuli, but they are open to learn more about architects contribution with neuroscience, and that's what I am going to work on combining the information and apply with design.
If I can make a conclusion for architecture, is the built environment should be making the brain works, (and there is a border for not to cause too much stress about wayfinding, or decision nmaking) and distracting the attention from pain.
Now I can read on more about environment, vision and brain...
