Brain and Environment: The Use of Brain Wave Analysis in Environmental Psychology

Summary, in English

In neuroscience a number of new techniques have been developed by means of which it has become possible to study the activity of the living human brain. By means of these techniques we are beginning to understand the neurophysiology behind environmental attitudes and preferences. In addition to an introduction to cognitive neuroscience, this invited symposium contains a number of presentations, where brain wave analysis has been employed in Environmental Psychology.
