Findings in brain research, for example, document the participation of various sensory modalities in perceptual processes (see e. g.

In order to assess sensory function, it is necessary to have knowledge of the physical and chemical dimensions describing and relating to all stimuli which influence the sensory apparatus.

The perception of natural environments and of near-natural landscapes such as parks and gardens is often particularly intense. Life increasingly takes place, however, in artificial environments. As a result, buildings, residential spaces, shopping malls, offices, sports facilities, and other environments must be designed in such a manner that allows them to host pleasant living and working arrangements in which positive feelings accompany the inhabitants. A characteristic feature of the perception of atmospheres is the great speed with which judgments can be made.

It is also necessary to ascertain whether children and adolescents are to be considered in the respective product portfolio, such as for seat design for children in automobiles. Ergonomic design is, as an essential element in the functionality of a device or of an object of daily use, a basic prerequisite for optimizing the conditions of use. In the course of this approach, the paths taken by the stimuli originating from the product along their way to the sensory organs will be identified, and possibilities of active influence will be examined as well.
