Neuroscience research explains how design can meaningfully encourage sales at both physical and virtual sites while elevating the quality of retail experiences.

Sometimes design needs to make sure practical tasks are performed efficiently and effectively. Neuroscience findings can help with the design of spaces and objects that achieve very concrete objectives—in copy and mail rooms, laundry areas, kitchens, etc.
Transitioning from one area to another is often an afterthought, something that just happens and is hardly planned. Neuroscientists have investigated many space switching-related topics, and applying their findings can generate noteworthy results.
Information streams must be skillfully interwoven to develop design solutions. Some of what must be known is difficult to learn, but neuroscience-informed design can’t move forward without it. What are the 5 most challenging bits of data for designers to gather? How can they begin to collect them?
We’re firmly established in the hybrid era. What does the neuroscience research say about designing meeting areas that work—for users (onsite and remote) and the organizations that host gatherings—now?
We all need to move beyond worldly concerns sometimes. Neuroscience research can enlighten the design of positive, uplifting, and inspiring places where our minds can break free of their everyday thoughts.
When humans don’t sleep well their mental and physical wellbeing evaporates and their cognitive performance falls. 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.
The Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA) met in Mexico City in 2024. Several potentially applicable sets of research findings were presented.
Five space-in-use certainties have big effects on responses to design. Design-relevant neuroscience research on each needs to be top-of-mind as design alternatives are developed and evaluated.
Neuroscience research indicates that social factors, such as culture(s) and languages spoken, make some design outcomes much more likely than others. Culture(s) and languages also influence design-related expectations and experiences.
