In contrast, urban environments produce the opposite effect. However, the specific electroencephalographic (EEG) rhythms and brain regions involved in relaxation mechanisms, as well as the factors contributing to individual differences in these responses, remain unclear.</p> <p><bold>AIM:</bold> To examine the relationship between biophilia, self-reported emotional state, and brain bioelectrical activity during the perception of natural and urban landscapes.</p> <p><bold>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</bold> The study involved 83 university students (mean age 20.0±1.5 years) who assessed their biophilia and emotional response (valence, arousal, and amplitude) after watching custom-made films depicting either natural or urban landscapes. EEG recordings (19-channel) were obtained from 37 participants. Psychometric assessments of biophilia and emotional self-perception were analyzed in relation to EEG frequency-spatial activity across seven spectral bands.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold> A significant positive correlation was observed between biophilia scores and self-reported arousal in response to both natural and urban landscapes (0.41&lt; <italic>Rs</italic>&lt; 0.51, 0.01&lt; <italic>p&lt; </italic>0.05, Spearman’s test). Natural landscapes elicited positive emotions, whereas urban environments induced negative emotional responses. A positive correlation of arousal levels during natural landscape perception was observed in low-frequency delta and theta EEG bands, both in the baseline state and during film viewing (0.40&lt; <italic>Rs</italic>&lt; 0.72, 0.005&lt; <italic>p&lt; </italic>0.05). The perception of natural landscapes was associated with arousal/valence modulation in alpha and beta rhythms, primarily localized in the frontal and temporoparietal regions, with a left-hemisphere dominance. In contrast, urban landscapes exhibited greater right-hemisphere activation. The correlation with psychometric self-assessment of biophilia was observed in baseline EEG alpha and gamma frequencies.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold> Watching natural landscapes induces positive emotional states, whereas urban environments trigger negative emotional responses. Psychometric biophilia scores and emotional self-assessments are reflected in baseline brain activity patterns, with enhanced relaxation effects following exposure to natural landscapes and attenuated effects after urban stimulus exposure. EEG correlates of emotional self-assessment indicate predominant left-hemisphere engagement in natural landscape perception, whereas urban landscapes are associated with greater right-hemisphere activation.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование.</bold> Результаты многочисленных исследований свидетельствуют о снижении стресса и улучшении эмоционального состояния при восприятии природной среды, что сопровождается снижением активации коры головного мозга. Городская среда вызывает противоположный эффект. Однако остаётся неясным, какие ритмы электроэнцефалограммы и какие регионы мозга вовлекаются в механизмы релаксации и причины их индивидуального разнообразия.</p> <p><bold>Цель.</bold> Выяснение связи биофилии и самооценки эмоционального состояния при восприятии природных и урбанистических ландшафтов с организацией биоэлектрической активности головного мозга.</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы.</bold> В самооценке биофилии и эмоциональной реакции (валентности, возбуждения, амплитуды) после просмотра специально созданных фильмов, представляющих природный или урбанистический ландшафт городской среды, принимали участие 83 студента технического университета в возрасте 20,0±1,5 года; с регистрацией 19-канальной электроэнцефалограммы — 37 человек. Психометрические показатели биофилии и самооценки эмоций, вызванных просмотром этих фильмов, сопоставляли с частотно-пространственной организацией активности коры в семи частотных диапазонах.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Обнаружена положительная связь биофилии с самооценкой возбуждения, вызванного как природным, так и урбанистическим ландшафтом (0,41 &lt;<italic>Rs</italic>&lt;0,51 при 0,01 &lt;<italic>p</italic>&lt;0,05 по критерию Спирмена). При этом восприятие природного ландшафта вызывало положительные эмоции, тогда как урбанистического — отрицательные. Положительная связь показателя возбуждения в ситуации просмотра природного ландшафта была представлена в низкочастотных дельта- и тета-диапазонах электроэнцефалограммы в фоновом состоянии и при просмотре фильмов (0,40 &lt;<italic>Rs</italic>&lt;0,72 при 0,005 &lt;<italic>p</italic>&lt;0,05). Просмотр природного ландшафта характеризовался ассоциацией показателей возбуждения/валентности и альфа-/бета-ритмов, регионарно сгруппированных в лобной и височно-теменной областях коры c доминированием левого полушария, тогда как при просмотре урбанистического ландшафта более выражена активность правого полушария. Связь с психометрической самооценкой биофилии отмечена в фоне на частотах альфа и гамма.</p> <p><bold>Заключение. </bold>Просмотр фильма, содержащего кадры природного ландшафта, вызывает положительное эмоциональное состояние, тогда как городская среда — негативную оценку. Психометрические показатели биофилии и самооценки эмоций отражаются в фоновой «преднастройке» активности мозга с усилением эффекта релаксации после просмотра природного ландшафта и его ослаблением после восприятия урбанистических стимулов. Выявленные на электроэнцефалограмме паттерны коррелятов самооценки эмоционального состояния указывают на относительно большее вовлечение реактивности левого полушария, связанного с восприятием природной среды, а правого — техногенной.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p>论证。众多研究表明，自然环境的感知可降低压力并改善情绪状态，同时伴随大脑皮层激活水平的降低，而城市环境则产生相反的效果。 然而，目前尚不清楚哪些脑电图节律及脑区参与放松机制，以及其个体差异的成因。</p> <p>目的。研究生物亲和性（biophilia）与个体在感知自然和城市景观时情绪自评之间的关系，以及大脑生物电活动的组织模式。</p> <p>材料与方法。研究涉及83名技术大学学生（平均年龄20.0±1.5岁），他们观看了专门制作的自然或城市景观影片，并对其生物亲和性及情绪反应（愉悦度、唤醒度、振幅）进行自评。其中，37名受试者进行了19通道脑电图记录。研究将心理测量学指标（生物亲和性及观影引发的情绪自评）与皮层活动在七种频率范围内的频率-空间结构进行比较。</p> <p>结果。发现生物亲和性与自然及城市景观引发的唤醒度呈正相关（0.41&lt; Rs&lt; 0.51，0.01 &lt; p&lt; 0.05，Spearman相关）。其中，自然景观引发正面情绪，而城市景观则引发负面情绪。观看自然景观时，唤醒度指标在基线状态及观影时均与低频δ波和θ波频段呈正相关（ 0.40 &lt; Rs&lt; 0.72，0.005&lt; p&lt; 0.05）。观看自然景观的过程中，唤醒度/愉悦度与α波/β波节律存在关联，这种区域性分布主要集中在额叶和颞-顶叶皮层，并以左半球占优势，而观看城市景观时，则表现出更强的右半球激活。生物亲和性的心理测量学指标在基线状态下与α波和γ波的活动相关。</p> <p>结论。观看自然景观视频可诱发积极的情绪状态，而城市环境则带来负面评价。生物亲和性及情绪自评的心理测量学指标体现在大脑活动的“基础状态”中，并在观看自然景观后增强放松效果，而在接受城市刺激后削弱放松效应。脑电图所揭示的情绪自评神经相关模式表明，自然环境的感知更倾向于激活左半球，而人工环境的感知则更多涉及右半球。</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>biophilia</kwd><kwd>self-perceived emotions</kwd><kwd>perception</kwd><kwd>natural and urban landscapes</kwd><kwd>brain activity</kwd><kwd>EEG rhythms</kwd><kwd>hemispheric asymmetry</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>биофилия</kwd><kwd>самооценка эмоций</kwd><kwd>восприятие</kwd><kwd>природный и урбанистический ландшафт</kwd><kwd>активность головного мозга</kwd><kwd>ритмы электроэнцефалограммы</kwd><kwd>полушарная асимметрия</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="zh"><kwd>生物亲和性</kwd><kwd>情绪自评</kwd><kwd>感知</kwd><kwd>自然与城市景观</kwd><kwd>大脑活动</kwd><kwd>脑电图节律</kwd><kwd>半球不对称性。</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Borrell-Carrió F, Suchman AL, Epstein RM.
