Abstract
Beneficial effects on subjective mood and brain function of biophilic quality in university environments shown in virtual reality. ABSTRACT Biophilic designs incorporate nature-based features into built environments. Raised theta activity is reported in biophilic environments. Virtual Reality allows greater control of experimental parameters than in-field studies. Participants provided subjective reports and underwent an electroencephalography assessment as they viewed interior spaces that varied (0 no features to 3 most features) in biophilic quality. Mood improved with biophilic quality. Theta power increased with biophilic quality for levels 1-3. Paradoxically, however, theta was also high in the condition devoid of biophilic features (Level 0). Findings suggest that the benefit of biophilic environments on mood is paralleled by alterations in theta.
