Last week, the Van Alen Institute hosted an interdisciplinary event relating brain activity, new technology and our response to the built environment. The event included a tech demo of brain computer interfaces and a conversation involving architects, neuroscientists, psychologists and designers, weighing in on technological advancements in EEG brain computer interfaces (BCI) and the application of brain imaging to redefine how we understand people’s perception of their surroundings.
