Abstract: In the ever-evolving landscape of innovation, architecture is no longer just a backdrop; it is an active participant in shaping human thought, behavior, and performance. Neuroarchitecture—a discipline at the intersection of neuroscience and architectural design—explores how spatial environments influence brain function and cognition. As startup culture thrives and the demand for incubation centers increases, understanding the neurological impact of spatial design becomes vital. This research investigates the principles of neuroarchitecture and their application in designing incubation centers that foster creativity, productivity, collaboration, and psychological well-being. The paper highlights the science behind neuroarchitectural strategies and presents design guidelines and case studies that illustrate how spaces can be programmed to "think" with their users.
