Bio-Spatial Study in the Urban Context - User Experience Analysis from New York, Preliminary Neurophysiological Analysis from Kuala Lumpur and Nairobi.

Multimer is a new system that measures multimodal biosensor data to model how the built environment influences neurophysiological processes. This article presents participant feedback of user experience for a Multimer study in Manhattan south of Central Park, New York City, USA. The feedback was used to update and improve the entire Multimer system for use in other locales. This article will also present preliminary analyses for bio-spatial pilot studies in Kenya and Malaysia, conducted by the Multimer's research team in partnership with the Sustainable Mobility Unit of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat). For all of these studies, participants used wearable sensors to record their electroencephalographic signals as they cycled or walked.
