Exploring the Blueprints of Perception
"We shape our buildings; thereafter, they shape us. In the intricate maze of the mind, every wall, every corridor, reflects not just our vision, but our very being. It is in the spaces we create, that the tapestry of human thought finds its mirror."
$ Blueprints of Perception.
The podcast where architecture meets neuroscience. Join us as we journey through leading architectural studios and cutting-edge cognitive science labs, exploring how empirical data shapes our built environments and delves into the mysteries of human sensory experiences. In each episode, we uncover the intricate dance between physical spaces and the mind's perception, bridging the gap between the tangible structures we inhabit and the natural world we perceive.
What We Believe In
At Space.Brain.Science, we are steadfast in our belief that the realms of architecture and neuroscience are profoundly interconnected.
We believe that our built environments are not just physical structures but dynamic spaces that interact with our minds, influencing our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
We champion the pursuit of empirical evidence and scientific rigour in understanding how the natural and constructed world around us shapes sensory and visual perception.
Our commitment is to bridge the gap between these two disciplines, fostering a deeper appreciation of how space and cognition coalesce to define human experience.
Through our podcasts and research, we aim to unveil the subtle yet powerful ways architecture impacts our neurological landscape, advocating for designs that harmonise with our innate perceptual needs.
Where We Dream of Going
At Space.Brain.Science, our aspirations extend beyond the realms of current knowledge, venturing into uncharted territories where architecture and cognitive science converge.
We dream of pioneering a future where every built space is a marvel of design and a nurturing environment for the mind.
Our vision is to uncover profound insights into how sensory and visual perceptions are moulded by our surroundings, guiding us towards creating spaces that are in true harmony with human neurological needs.
We are committed to pushing the boundaries of understanding and exploring how the subtle interplay between physical form and mental well-being can lead to revolutionary architectural innovations.
Our journey is one of endless curiosity, driven by the belief that the spaces we create and inhabit can profoundly uplift the human spirit and enhance our collective experience.

About Zakaria Djebara
Zak Djebbara is an assistant professor at Aalborg University focusing on the role of architectural affordances in cognition and behavior by use of mobile EEG, VR, and computational neuroscience. Zak is antidisciplinary and makes use of any method relevant to the research question. He is currently investigating how sensorimotor brain dynamics modulate behavior and cognition through perceived rhythms.
About Anders Barslund
Anders, an architect from Virum, Denmark, integrates neuro-aesthetic principles in his architectural designs. His approach emphasizes how spaces influence human behavior and emotional responses, focusing on the intersection of architecture and neuroscience. His projects showcase an understanding of how environments can impact well-being and cognitive function. Barslund's website offers insights into material selection and design solutions that cater to the neural and sensory experiences of inhabitants, reflecting a deep engagement with the neuroscientific aspects of architecture.
