What role does neuroscience play in interior architecture?

Neuroscience plays an important role in interior architecture as it helps to understand how the brain and senses respond to various design stimuli. Neuroscientific research is used to create designs that enhance human perception, mood, and behavior. For example, the use of natural light, colors, and materials can impact the brain's perception of space, and lighting design can affect mood and circadian rhythms. Understanding how the brain processes information can also inform the layout and organization of spaces to optimize usability and effectiveness. Overall, incorporating neuroscience into interior architecture can lead to more functional, aesthetically pleasing, and comfortable spaces that promote well-being.
