Neuroarchitecture is an interdisciplinary field that studies how the built environment influences brain activity, emotions, and human behavior. By integrating knowledge from architecture, neuroscience, and environmental psychology, it seeks to understand how factors such as light, scale, nature, materials, and spatial configuration impact well-being, cognition, and spatial experience.

Neurodesign is an interdisciplinary approach that applies knowledge from neuroscience to the design process, aiming to understand how spatial, sensory, and environmental stimuli influence human perception, emotions, and behavior. This approach enables the development of more conscious design solutions, oriented toward enhancing human experience, well-being, and interaction with the environment.

Neurolandscape design is an emerging field that integrates landscape architecture, neuroscience, and environmental psychology to study how natural and designed environments influence mental health, perception, and human well-being. This approach examines the relationship between landscape features—such as vegetation, water, topography, and biodiversity—and human cognitive and emotional responses, guiding the design of more restorative, resilient, and meaningful outdoor spaces.

Neurourbanism is an emerging interdisciplinary field that studies how urban environments influence the brain, mental health, and human behavior. It integrates knowledge from neuroscience, psychiatry, urbanism, architecture, and social sciences to understand how factors such as urban density, social stress, public space, and contact with nature affect psychological well-being in cities. This approach seeks to generate scientific evidence to guide the design and planning of healthier cities.
