Neuroscience research makes it clear that our cultures and the languages we speak have powerful effects on our design-based experiences. It also highlights how design can recognize, reflect, and respect user group cultures and languages so people feel more comfortable and achieve objectives they prize.
We all need to sleep; when we don’t sleep well bad things happen inside our heads. Design can make it easier for humans to drift gently off into healthy sleep—and to stay asleep—whether they’re at home, at a hotel, in a hospital bed, or trying to take a nap break at work.
Familiar, predictable design can be best, sometimes. Neuroscience research indicates when that’s the case and useful ways to design for expectations.
When we’re awed our minds do all sorts of great things and both designed and natural objects and spaces can awe humans. How can the forms of things and places generate awe? Why does awe matter? Applying neuroscience research to answer these questions enriches design practice.
Hodges, Estes, and Warren probed the implications of the words used in slogans and it’s likely that their findings are more broadly useful to designers.
Dinse, Newen, and Tegenthoff have collected additional information indicating that our perceptions of textures are quite subjective.
Sun and colleagues link experiencing sunlight and taking more risks.
We take selfies for different reasons than we take photos in general.
