Acoustic Field Design is the intentional shaping of sound in relation to space and the human body to support perception, physiology, and nervous system regulation.

Unlike conventional sound approaches that focus primarily on the sound source or musical structure, Acoustic Field Design considers how sound behaves within a space. The human body is understood not only as a listener, but as an adaptive biological system interacting continuously with its acoustic environment.

Research from neuroacoustics, psychoacoustics, and sensory neuroscience shows that structured acoustic environments can modulate autonomic nervous system activity, affect attention states, and influence physiological markers associated with stress regulation and recovery.

Within this framework, sound functions as an environmental signal rather than a directive intervention. By designing coherent acoustic fields, the nervous system is supported in self-regulation processes without cognitive effort or active participation.

Acoustic Field Design forms the applied interface between scientific principles and experiential practice — translating acoustic understanding into embodied, perceptual experiences that support resilience, regulation, and long-term nervous system health.
