Emotions From Salivary Biomarkers in an Architectural Context

Starting soon

Conditions studied: Emotions

In brief

Architecture influences our well-being. People's behavior and mood changes in different spaces are directly related to the architectural qualities of the built environment. Neuroarchitecture is a discipline that combines neuroscience and architecture to design spaces adapted to the psychological and physiological needs of users. Several studies related to neuroarchitecture have been conducted according to different architectural parameters such as style, natural environment, lighting, color, and sunlight pattern. Recent studies show that emotional states can be evaluated by physiological responses. This physiological regulation comes from the action of enzymes and hormones that represent the activity of the autonomic nervous system. Measuring specific biomarkers through non-invasive biological tests in saliva provides physiological data on an individual's emotional state in response to stimuli, particularly visual or tactile.
