What grabs our attention in the congested city?

The latest research in neuroscience is revealing fascinating things about human perception and the relationship between what we see and what we experience. And with inexpensive but high-powered tools such as electroencephalography-based (EEG) brain-computer interfaces (BCI) now increasingly accessible, it's getting easier to tap into the signals underlying attention, stress, and our processing of the world.

On April 27th, Van Alen Institute joined Columbia GSAPP's Cloud Lab in DUMBO, Brooklyn to gather 50 EEG data sets recording our brains' response to outdoor urban environments.
