Abstract：Urban design is shifting towards a focus of creating physical spaces to support the quality and health of urban life, as a result of increased living expectation. The technique advancements in neuroscience and computational graphics alows us to better document and to measure the impact of physical environment on human mental health including both emotion and cognition, while better controling environmental stimuli via stimulation. This paper summarizes the research developments of our research team in measuring environmental perception and decision supporting for design in the past two years. The developments include environmental impact on cognitive function via Electroencephalography and functional network analysis, affective mapping technique and affective domain measuring via autonomic nervous system, and visual reality creation via Lidar scanning.
