Cortical Plasticity


Cortical Plasticity: is the changing of neurons, the organization of their networks and their function via new experiences.

Dan Farmer suggests that spatial awareness and experience could be stipulated by cortical plasticity, stimulated by electrical impulses. With this shift to internalised space perception, the disciplines of architecture and cognitive science become blurred as the relationship between the object and its environment dissolves.
