ABSTRACT
Studying the brain offers a novel window into our understanding of human-nature interactions. The complexity of green exercise requires the development of theory-led hypotheses beyond those of stress reduction and attention restoration. Embodied cognition and neuroeconomics are potential perspectives that can inform our understanding of responses to natural stimuli. These approaches can be augmented by investigations of multisensory integration, functional connectivity, and long-term morphological changes in response to nature contact, exposure and engagement.
