The effects of the technologically changing and transforming world have begun to be observed for a while in the education and training process of the architecture profession, which plays a major role in the formation and maintenance of the physical environment. The process continued for many years within the framework of the master-apprentice relationship and through the jury; It has begun to change with new opportunities, new approaches and awareness. This study in question; He tried to talk about the possible tools and variables of 2D and 3D perception, which are among the most important competencies of architecture students, who are the main actors in this process, and the profession they will acquire, by using technology as a mediator. The experiment planned for data collection was designed to measure the physiological responses of the body while watching building plan images. With this aim, 50 subjects consisting of students from Süleyman Demirel University Architecture and Urban and Regional Planning departments were studied. The experiment was conducted in the computational design laboratory of SDU Faculty of Architecture. The experiment duration is planned to be approximately 10 minutes for one person. In the study, 3 different data acquisition methods were preferred; An HRV device was used to measure heart rate changes, an EEG device was used to measure brain network changes, and a virtual reality environment was used to provide a consistent working environment. These methods aimed to test the situation in both stages. Used complex network analysis and machine learning algorithms to measure and classify functional connections while viewing 2D and 3D visuals of the plan; In this way, it is aimed to understand the effects of these two different plan formats on brain neural mechanisms. As a result, different results were obtained from the analyzes performed in this study. No change was observed in the heart rates of the experiments, but it was determined that watching the 3D plan evoked significantly and larger β-band EEG activity in all five brain regions compared to watching the 2D plan. This data; Studies have shown the opposite result, stating that two-dimensional learning materials can significantly increase students' learning effects, while three-dimensional learning materials prevent students from understanding concepts. The significant differences in prediction success and brain region showed that there was also a difference in the students' cognitive abilities.
