We've successfully completed the first stage of the NeuroUrbanism Assessment Study (NUA) in Malmi (Helsinki, Finland)!
Over the summer, Agnieszka Olszewska-Guizzo, Anastasia Kokkinou and Nina Pelkonen from NeuroLandscape and Mikko Laak from Forum Virium Helsinki carried out in-situ mEEG data collection of 50 local residents in Malmi and Longinoja Park.
Thanks to the lightweight headband devices provided by Muse® by Interaxon Inc., participants can comfortably stroll around while we record their brain activity. After the area is transformed with new Nature-based Solutions (NbS), we'll be back to collect more data and compare the effect of such interventions.
We make this effort with the end goal of better understanding how urban environments impact mental health at the neighborhood scale as part of the Programme Horizon Europe GreenInCities project.
