Background

Over the past several decades, studies have shown the cognitive and mental health benefits of exposure to specific environments, such as natural environments. The health benefits described from natural environmental exposure, include but are not limited to; improved endogenous attention, improved mood, reduced impulsivity, and lower stress. Feelings of connection to nature are related to increased sustainable behavior and environmental concern. However, the neuroscientific research in this continually growing field is still limited. Previous work to understand the neural correlates of environment processing, cognitive outcomes from environmental exposure, sustainable behavior, and environmental concern has employed both spectral and event-related EEG methodologies, as well as some neuro-imaging work. However, there is a need to study the human-environment psychological relationship from a neuroscientific perspective.



To that effect, the aim of this Research Topic is to present and discuss recent neuroscientific within the broader field of environmental psychology. Any contributions on the neural correlates of environmental thought, emotion, and/or behavior, in the form of original research articles, reviews, mini-reviews, systematic reviews, and clinical trials, are appropriate for submission to this topic.
