Chapter 6: Harnessing the Brain

The human brain took millions of years to evolve into this amazing tool that we may often take for granted. As we learn new things and experience new environments, our brain adapts and changes to better suit our needs.

As designers, it is important that we keep in touch with the latest explorations, discoveries, and studies about the attributes of the brain so that we can design for the brain better. Brain attributes are qualities or characteristics of the brain that can be measured or observed.

When it comes to the virtual worlds of the Metaverse, it is important to make the best of the brain’s existing strengths, rather than try to force it to learn new ways to interact with interfaces that we design. By taking advantage of the brain’s existing strengths, we can create virtual environments that are more user-friendly and enjoyable to use.
