Abstract

Current mobile sensory technology allows us to track eye movement and measure physiological activities in our body. There are several studies conducted in how our body reacts to certain environments by using skin conduction (Nold, 2009) or EEG sensors (Mavros, P., Austwick, M.Z. & Smith, A.H. (2016). Although these methods are fairly new in the field of urban research and only describe general findings, it allows us to get a step closer to an empirical approach to environmental perception and how, for instance, certain “textbook design principles” influence our perceptions and eventually our emotions in our daily urban environments. This research thus aims to add to the basis for future studies on the relation of psychophysiological perception of spatial elements.
