Ruby Lipson-Smith (Florey Institute and University of Melbourne) Title: The role of the physical setting in human behaviour and brain repair Abstract: How do your surroundings influence how you feel, think, and behave? The physical setting is an often forgotten variable, but it can have a very real impact on our general health and well-being. There are several theories of human-environment interaction, which can be applied in many areas of psychology, including brain repair. One example that illustrates this interaction, is the relationship between inpatient rehabilitation facilities and cognitive and physical rehabilitation post stroke. Rehabilitation facilities are healthcare environments, but they must also promote patients? autonomy and provide a setting for learning. The interaction between humans and their environment is multifaceted and difficult to measure. Still, systematic observation of behaviour can reveal a great deal, and some recently advances in technology ? such as real-time location systems (RTLS), Virtual Reality, and mobile EEG ? may help us to further quantify how the environment impacts our brain and behaviour. Environmental psychologists can use this knowledge to produce concrete recommendations for land management, urban planning, and architecture, which may help to solve a wide variety of problems in human behaviour, cognition, and health. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since changes in who we are in turn change the content of our idealized desires, it is not clear whether our decisions about who to become should be based on our current desires or the desires of the various persons we might become. And since we cannot always anticipate what our transformed selves will care about before we are transformed, we must also make these decisions without knowledge of what the idealized desires of our future selves might be. While related conceptual versions of these problems exist, in this paper I put them aside to focus on the question of action guidance: given these two sources of ignorance, can idealized desire accounts of well-being really tell us anything useful about how to decide who to become? In answer, I argue that they can tell us far more than we might expect, and develop an account of the action guidance that they offer."
