Source details checked refers to publication information or an official source page. See the record’s limitations for incomplete extraction and the method for how to read the labels.
What the source reports
In VR with mobile EEG, door width (how passable an opening was) changed motor-related brain activity before people moved.
Limitations
VR doorways, small sample; affordance, not wellbeing.
Design questions and applications
Treat door width as something people respond to on approach.
Field
Neuroarchitecture and aesthetics
Notes and follow-up
Added from the Corpus Desk (card djebbara-2019-affordances) on 2026-11-09. Evidence strength and translation distance not yet rated. WELL label held for review.
