Brain response to the Nature, An EEG study

This research focuses on exploring how the brain responds to various stimuli, with an emphasis on visual communications as seen through the lens of EEG data. This study attempts to draw connections between subjective psychological responses to the environment and objective, neurophysiological data, thus filling in gaps in both the fields of neuroscience and environmental psychology. Participants in this study viewed 100 images across three types natural landscapes (N), AW nature images (AW), polluted environment images (PE) . Resting state EEG spectra included details about the EEG data recorded throughout the review process, which captures brain responses in real-time. They were given a pretest ethical consent form, and after the experiment a questionnaire to determine their emotional state and geographical position in time and space, adding additional context to their brain activity.These findings indicate that neither age nor gender were significantly influencing participants’ sense of connectedness to nature. From a methodological point of view, this suggests that demographic factors will not confound the study’s primary findings related to environmental stimuli and emotional/EEG responses. Thus, if any differences are observed in the following sections, it is far more likely that they are due to the manipulation of scene type (Mundane, Extraordinary, or Degraded), as opposed to demographic variables. In conclusion, the characteristics of the participants can be summarized as relatively young adults with moderate to high nature connection, which indicates the suitable basis for exploring emotional and neural responses.
