The research corpus

A permanent evidence library for understanding how environments influence the brain, nervous system and behavior. The corpus brings together neuroscience, psychology, physiology, sleep science, sensory research, building science and environmental health, then indexes each source by the mechanism it helps explain and the spatial variable it may inform.

Each record separates two things that are often collapsed. Evidence strength describes how much weight the finding carries within the science itself. Translation distance describes how many inferential steps sit between that finding and a decision about a building. A grid-cell study can be excellent neuroscience and still be several steps away from telling us how to design a corridor.

The library keeps null findings, conflicting results and failed replications alongside positive evidence. It also records what remains unknown. The goal has not been just to collect research that confirms Neurodesign. It is also to build an evidence base strong enough to tell us where design can make a defensible claim, where the science is still developing, and where the most interesting questions have not yet been tested.
