AB  - This paper presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis on the convergence of neuroscience and spatial design research. Using a two-step process, an initial keyword search identified 296 papers with terms like 'EEG' and 'Neuro' alongside 'Architecture,' 'Urban Design,' 'Product Design,' and 'Interior Design.' Subsequent filtering by publication date (2003-2023), language (English), document type, and categories refined this to 64 papers. Recent trends show a shift from architecture-focused studies to those emphasizing interior architecture and the use of virtual reality as a research tool. The increase in publications since 2018, peaking in 2022, indicates growing scholarly interest. This study underscores the potential of integrating neuroscience in spatial design to improve human well-being and highlighting future research directions for spatial designers. The findings reveal an evolving focus on stress reduction, biophilic design, and the enhancement of human well-being through design. This paper aims to provide a scientific foundation for user-centered and aesthetically pleasing environments.

N2  - Bu makale, nörobilim ve mekânsal tasarım araştırmalarının kesişimi üzerine kapsamlı bir bibliyometrik analiz sunmaktadır. İki aşamalı bir süreç kullanarak, ilk anahtar kelime araması 'EEG' ve 'Neuro' gibi terimlerle birlikte 'Mimarlık,' 'Kentsel Tasarım,' 'Ürün Tasarımı' ve 'İç Mimarlık' terimlerini içeren 296 makale belirlemiştir. Yayın tarihi (2003-2023), dil (İngilizce), belge türü ve kategorilere göre yapılan sonraki filtreleme ile bu sayı 64 makaleye indirilmiştir. Son trendler, mimarlık odaklı çalışmalardan iç mimarlık ve sanal gerçekliğin bir araştırma aracı olarak kullanıldığı çalışmalara doğru bir kayma olduğunu göstermektedir. 2018'den bu yana artan yayın sayısı, 2022'de zirve yaparak, akademik ilginin arttığını göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, insan refahını artırmak için nörobilimin mekânsal tasarıma entegrasyonunun potansiyelini vurgulamakta ve mekânsal tasarımcılar için gelecekteki araştırma yönlerini öne çıkarmaktadır. Bulgular, stres azaltma, biyofilik tasarım ve insan refahının tasarım yoluyla iyileştirilmesine yönelik evrilen bir odağı ortaya koymaktadır. Bu makale, kullanıcı merkezli ve estetik açıdan hoş mekanlar için bilimsel bir temel sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.
