This session explores how neuroscience and neuro aesthetics are shaping design across screen, stage, immersive experiences and visitor attractions.

The discussion will cover how biometric response, emotional pacing, and the use of colour, light and sound are used to physically impact an audience, and what designers can genuinely use from this emerging science.
