This talk was in response to Alison Whitelaw's Great Expectations: Architecture in the Age of Neuroscience.
Dr. Macagno, the immediate past president of ANFA, is on the faculty of the University of California, San Diego, where his research focuses on how nerve cells grow and connect to appropriate targets and on how the human brain responds to environmental stimuli, particularly the built environment. With seed funding from HMC Architects, he and colleagues have been developing wearable sensor arrays that use wireless technology to record human neurological and physiological responses within a human scale immersive VR facility (CAVE).
