Neuroscience-informed approaches in architectural design: a systematic review of cognitive measures and interactive technologies from an HCI perspective

What the study found

Maps how cognitive measures and interactive technologies are being used to inform architectural design.

Limitations

Fast-evolving technology field; evidence for downstream built outcomes remains limited.

Neurodesign interpretation

A technology can make a brain signal easy to collect without making the design interpretation valid. The corpus needs both layers.

Possible design implications

Separate measurement feasibility from demonstrated human benefit.

Why it stays in the corpus

Retain for the design-technology implementation branch.
