Indices of embodied Neuroergonomic coupling: a theory and hypothesis framework for quantifying brain–body-environment dynamics in built space
Joe Scanlin
BackgroundBuilt environments shape navigation, attention, and motor control through continuous brain–body-environment coupling, yet architecture, rehabilitation, and clinical mobility practice still lack a shared quantitative language for this interaction. Architects lack quantitative feedback linking spatial decisions to neural or gait outcomes; clinicians rely on episodic assessments that capture capacity snapshots but not continuous coupling. Portable multi-modal sensing, ecological neuroscie
