Mental Barrier Free Design Science
Designing spaces and experiences for diverse brains.
Our Mission

Advancing the science of environments that adapt to brain diversity.

Mental Barrier-Free Design Science is an emerging interdisciplinary field that integrates neuroscience, architecture, design, engineering, and AI to establish evidence-based principles for environments that support brain diversity.

 

Rather than expecting individuals to adapt to standardized environments, we investigate how spaces and experiences can better adapt to the diverse ways people perceive, feel, and interact with the world.

 

Our research spans fundamental neuroscience, environmental design, computational modeling, and real-world implementation across architecture, workplaces, education, healthcare, public spaces, and cultural experiences.

Research areas
Understanding brain mechanisms
We investigate the neural mechanisms through which environments shape perception, emotion, cognition, and behavior, using neuroscience, computational modeling, and immersive experimental approaches.
Alleviating mental health issues
We translate fundamental neuroscience into evidence-based interventions that improve everyday experiences across healthcare, workplaces, education, and public environments.
Enhancing neurodiversity
We develop scientific principles and design strategies that support diverse ways of sensing, thinking, and interacting with the environment.
