[Zakaria Djebbara @ZakDjebbara]

Rhythms don't just shape our interaction with architecture; they redefine our understanding of the environment in experimental studies. This is not a conclusion, but a dawn. We stand on the edge of discovery, ready to unveil the rhythmic secrets that afford our existence. (6/6)

🚨NEW PAPER🚨
"On natural attunement: Shared rhythms between the brain and the environment"

Our new (open access) paper, in collab with the fantastic Efrosini Charalambous, reviews the rhythmic relationship between brains and buildings.

*Naturalistic paradigms: Rich behaviors and environmental features*

My short commentary on Maselli et al.'s latest paper "Beyond simple laboratory studies." Many emphasize naturalistic experiments, so I briefly remind us all of 'environmental features'.

1/9 *Paper Thread*
How do/can discrete computational models account for the continuity of human experience?

@jdbogotaj and I assess the temporality of active inference. We introduce Markov blankets of time, double notation of time, and more. OA link in the final post!

[Zakaria Djebbara @ZakDjebbara]

New batch. Did I do alright?

Trying to understand time and dynamics between body, brain and environment from empirical and computational perspectives. Any other recommendations?

[Zakaria Djebbara @ZakDjebbara]

*New publication*
Finally, the book sees the light of day! The book "Affordances in Everyday Life: A Multidisciplinary Collection of Essays" contains essays from excellent researchers, introducing affordances in super a super accessible way.

As we must engineer with the human's #psychology in mind we also might need to start thinking even bigger. This review highlights how important our surroundings are in shaping how we think and act (i.e. regarding attentional mechanisms). Are we ready to take onto this challenge?

[Zakaria Djebbara @ZakDjebbara]

New paper w/ @OleBJensen3, @neuroparada and @KlausGramann out now in Neurosci. & Biobehav. Rev.!

"Architecture and Neuroscience: Modulating behavior through sensorimotor responses to the built environment" where we also cover Mobile Brain/Body Imaging!

[Luiz Pessoa @PessoaBrain]

And it keeps going!

Why are things around us designed the way they are?
Research led by @ZakDjebbara and his team explores the impact of architectural differences in our surroundings on our well-being and #mentalhealth. Read more in our showcase: https://t.co/utETCVZSbB
