The work on the brain-friendly office at Mood, and the insights gained by measuring its effects on everyone in the office, has given AMF Fastigheter the confidence to proceed on a larger scale in Marievik with the Brain Capital District project. It is about the value of people's collective cognitive and creative capacity, and how factors such as lighting, sound environment, movement and social contexts influence it.
