and long-term neuroplastic changes. URBRAIN unfolds in three interconnected work packages: WP1 constructs an open-access, ecologically valid urban stimulus database, annotated using state-of-the-art machine learning and spatial analysis techniques; WP2 systematically compares human multimodal responses across levels of immersion, from the lab to virtual reality, to real-world exploration, integrating in-situ EEG with pre-post intervention MRI data for a mechanistic explanation of brain-environment interactions; WP3 develops advanced data fusion pipelines, integrating neurophysiological, behavioural, and environmental data to create tools for assessing stress and restoration dynamics. URBRAIN’s open-science approach ensures international collaboration and reproducibility, while its methodological innovations set new standards for ecological validity and causal inference in Environmental Neuroscience. By providing critical evidence on how everyday urban experiences shape the brain, URBRAIN offers actionable insights for urban design, public health, and policy-making, paving the way fo
