What does a high caliber example of a highly comfortable conference environment look, feel, and sound like?

What's more fun than learning cool stuff?

Sharing the cool stuff you've learned with others!

I have gotten back into actively curating resources again, and with that here is a new substack blog with a pile of great sensory science videos for your leisurely learning:

Everything you wanted to know about sensory but were too afraid to ask!

Last year, I developed SOLACE - a preventative framework for sensory accessibility that works across all shared indoor spaces.

As I've refined it, five key concepts kept coming up, it became evident that they are the 'transmission' that functionally drives the model:

Sensory resilience (aka nervous system buffer)
Comfort bands
Contrast clarity
Accumulated sensory load
Processing collapse

Swipe through the carousel for definitions and examples.

Why does this matter?

Most sensory accessibility approaches are reactionary - they respond after someone is already overwhelmed. SOLACE is designed to be preventative. To create spaces where we keep more of our energy rather than strategizing for what to do with how little we are left with. Where "overwhelming" isn't just accepted as the unavoidable default. Where after-work social plans can be looked forward to rather than dreaded.

Our new dedicated blog "Beyond Quiet Rooms" has a new post, where I break down the initial key findings from an ongoing sensory experience survey that I'm running.

I've also published a whitepaper.

Excited for where this work will go in 2026!

Why do people leave events early, avoid certain venues, or feel drained afterward?

I’m running a research survey exploring how environmental factors like sound, lighting, temperature, and physical comfort shape people’s experiences in indoor public spaces and events.

It takes about 20–30 minutes and includes a gift card draw in recognition of the time involved.

You don’t need to have sensory sensitivities or a particular neurotype to participate. All perspectives are important to this research, however **we are looking for more responses from men**.

Thanks for your consideration and participation - feel free to share with friends, family, coworkers, etc.

This research will benefit everyone.

Neuromix Consulting is conducting research on the environmental comfort of indoor public spaces, towards people being able to enjoy events for longer, connect more, and have better experiences. Sharing your experiences and feedback greatly helps with this mission.

Event experience designers know that our memories are often tied to our senses.

A certain song that played on the radio during our first date with someone. The smell of mom's home-cooked pancakes. The feeling of fresh clean sheets on a summer evening.

But as the saying goes - you *can* have too much of a good thing.

That's where Sensory Contrast Collapse comes in.

I use this term to describe the point where sensory input becomes overloaded and dissonant. When that happens, our experience, focus, and comfort drop. We either tune out completely, or begin forming negative memories instead of positive ones.

I’ve prepared this carousel to explain the concept in a simple, visual way.

Some consultants focus on individual senses, but very few consider how all inputs layer together. In shared spaces your sensory experience is more like a Jenga tower. You can lose a block or two, but too much disruption and the whole system becomes unstable and risks toppling.

Neuromix designed the SOLACE Model (TM) to look at all of these factors collectively, accounting for the full context of human comfort.

We measure the inputs.
We compare them with known human 'comfort bands'.
We help you calibrate them into balance.

Once you are SOLACE Certified, every experience can feel more grounded, inclusive, comfortable, and more memorable in the ways that really matter.
