Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Architectural Science

Background:

  • Perception of designed environments varies based on their correlation with the physical world.
  • Neuropsychology offers insights into how the brain processes novel perceptual experiences.
  • Understanding brain mechanisms in architectural perception is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of the pre-central gyrus in the perception of abstract spatial environments.
  • To compare human perception of abstract, semi-designed, and fully-designed environments.
  • To validate the use of continuous electroencephalography (EEG) in architectural perception research.

Main Methods:

  • Development of three distinct designed environment categories: abstract, semi-designed, and fully-designed.
  • Utilizing neuropsychological techniques to analyze brain involvement during environmental perception.
  • Employing continuous electroencephalography (EEG) and post-experiment questionnaires with buzzwords.

Main Results:

  • The pre-central gyrus plays a significant role in the perception of abstract spatial environments.
  • Perception of fully-designed and semi-designed environments showed similarities, likely due to the brain's ability to correlate them with the physical world.
  • EEG data confirmed its suitability for studying perception in architectural contexts.

Conclusions:

  • The pre-central gyrus is a key neural substrate for processing abstract spatial environments.
  • Architectural design influences perception by leveraging or abstracting from physical world correlations.
  • Continuous EEG is a viable tool for advancing the study of architectural perception and its neural underpinnings.
