The aim of this project is to define and measure the characteristics of our outdoor lived environment which can support cognitive healthy ageing. Exposure to green, walkability, optimal level of dynamic complexity are some of these characteristics. We use a mixed methods approach, with experimental studies, epidemiological work and qualitative analysis (walking interviews). EEG will also detect the neurophysiological difference between being exposed to complex and stimulating environments or not.
