Aural Affect: The Impact of Acoustic Environments on Emotions, Experience and Well-being - Alaa Algargoosh

This research examines how architectural spaces shape emotional experience through their acoustic environments. Using binaural audio, 360° video, VR, biosensors, and self-reports, the study shows that spaces amplifying low frequencies enhance positive emotions. The goal is to develop architectural guidelines that create restorative, well-being-enhancing environments in schools, hospitals, offices, and public spaces.
