melissa.danilovNeuroaesthetics: Designing your home around how your brain responds to it. 🧠🌙 Turns out your brain notices shape before you do. Sharp corners trigger more activity in the amygdala (part of the brain region involved in threat and anxiety processing) than soft curves do. Your home is speaking to your brain all day long, so make it say something kind. You can start small: a round side table, an arched mirror, a soft-edged lamp. And if you share a space or can't redecorate right now, one rounded object in your own corner still counts. Then let your desk keep its edges, because a little alertness is a good thing when it's time to focus. Part 2 and 3 are coming. Comment "guide" and I'll send you my free, research-backed neuroaesthetics guide. 🤍 #neuroscience #neuroaesthetics #interiordesign #research #aesthetic Research: Bar, M., & Neta, M. (2007).
