Hi all,
We are very excited to be hosting an external speaker next Wednesday (29th) at 4pm in YNiC open plan. Chris Neale from the University of Huddersfield will be presenting a talk entitled: Your brain on grass: Environmental Psychology and the brain
"Given
the increasing levels of urbanisation coupled with our aging
population, there is a need to understand how our urban spaces impact
public health and wellbeing. Environmental psychology has provided
numerous theories and
research aiming to understand ways we can optimise our urban spaces.
This has, more recently, extended into neuroscience; specifically
addressing how urban forms impact brain activity in lab, virtual and
real-world settings. This talk will explore some of
these findings, including my own research, and look forward to what the
future might hold!"
We look forward to seeing you then!
