Electroencephalography - EEG

Hard to pronounce hard to explain maybe, but this technology aims to make things easy. Being used in medicine, brain monitoring system, is slowly used in test studies in architecture, and as far as i read it is spreading outside the core city of neuroscience-architecture, San Diego. I came across to studies made in University of Lisboa "Evaluating Emotional Responses to the Interior Design of a Hospital Room: A Study Using Virtual Reality". It really raises curiosity if they have been looking into this connection and to mention that it the resarch is done by Interdisciplinary center for the study of Human Performance (CIPER). The thesis can be purchased on web, but unfortunately the department webpage is not active. Further reading : you see in the previous blogposts, some links to Cave.cad 5d modelling tools for architecture

Informal visit to Östra Sjukhuset, Psychiatry

Image
Östra Sjukhuset psychiatry clinic in Göteborg, is designed by White Arkitekter, and opened in 2006. It doesn't give the classic image of a clinic, and also as mentioned in White.se, the healing environment was thought to be important for s healing process, so they thought about working on a pleasant design from patient's view. The building g received Forum for Healthcare Building Research’s Healthcare Award 2007 also nominated for Healthcare Buildings. www.white.se http://www.worldarchitecturenews.com/index.php?fuseaction=wanappln.projectview&upload_id=11558 Since I am going to meet Michael Nilsson next week to get information on neurology and rehabilitering, I simply didn't want to bother doctors in the psychiatry clinic today asking questions like what are your treatments.. how do you threat.. why like that... I am keeping these questions for my second visit (hopefully) So as for the building, the architects achieved the openness and closeness very well with t...

Neuroscience of the design process

We know (or feel?) that built spaces can have a profound impact on our well-being. But have you ever wondered why certain designs have such a powerful effect on our emotions and perceptions? Enter mirror neurons, the unsung heroes of the neuroscience behind the design process. These specialized brain cells fire not only when we perform an action, but also when we observe someone else performing that same action. In other words, they allow us to mentally simulate the experiences of others. When it comes to design, mirror neurons play a crucial role in our response to visual stimuli. They enable us to empathize with the spaces and objects around us, allowing us to feel connected and engaged with our environment. Think about it - when you see a beautifully designed room or an aesthetically pleasing piece of art, your mirror neurons are firing away, mirroring the pleasure and appreciation experienced by the designer. This neural mirroring is what creates that sense of harmony and resona...
