Enhancing urban trail design quality can encourage people to use them. This study compared two urban trails with different functions in Tehran. Trying to discover while walking on the urban trails which parts of the path have the most effects on the cognitive functions of users. The aim is to enhance the urban trails quality by understanding human reactions. We use an electroencephalography device as a cognitive science tool. Results illustrate that the first three minutes of strolling have the most cognitive effects on users. We suggest improving the spatial quality of urban trails after the first minutes of entrancing.
