This course reviews key ideas in neuroscience and psychology that help us understand how architecture impacts people and how it can be used to improve design outcomes and promote community health. Participants will understand how unconscious behaviors direct the human experience of the built environment. They will also gain familiarity with biometric tools, like eye tracking, facial expression analysis, and galvanic skin response, and learn how evolutionary history pre-sets the human response to external stimuli and how we’re hardwired to look for them, even in building facades. This course is intended for building industry professionals. This can be a live or in-person training and is a combination of presentation and discussion.
