“…By doing so, we can further elucidate the distinctive characteristics inherent in these types of interactions. Lastly, in addition to previous studies demonstrating the enhancement of cross-modal interactions in individuals' perception of their physical environment [10][11][12], our findings further extend this phenomenon to social interactions. Therefore, future research could capitalize on the benefits of multisensory processing to augment perspective-taking abilities among individuals with limited skills in understanding others.…”

Accurate comprehension of others’ thoughts and intentions is crucial for smooth social interactions, wherein understanding their perceptual experiences serves as a fundamental basis for this high-level social cognition. However, previous research has predominantly focused on the visual modality when investigating perceptual processing from others’ perspectives, leaving the exploration of multisensory inputs during this process largely unexplored. By incorporating auditory stimuli into visual perspective-taking (VPT) tasks, we have designed a novel experimental paradigm in which the spatial correspondence between visual and auditory stimuli was limited to the altercentric rather than the egocentric reference frame. Overall, we found that when individuals engaged in explicit or implicit VPT to process visual stimuli from an avatar’s viewpoint, the concomitantly presented auditory stimuli were also processed within this avatar-centered reference frame, revealing altercentric cross-modal interactions.

“…In self-perspective processing, sensory information from multiple modalities can interact with each other to construct a coherent and comprehensive understanding of the surrounding environment [9][10][11][12]. This phenomenon, known as cross-modal interactions, is robust and widespread in individuals' egocentric processing.…”

“…Nevertheless, it is crucial to acknowledge that the aforementioned amalgamation of stimuli did not have a substantial psychological impact. The findings of their study indicated that the utilization of multimodal stimuli resulted in more pronounced physiological improvements [ 73 ]. Hence, it may be inferred that the application of tactile stimuli, whether with real or artificial grass, has a significant impact on beta waves.…”

The health of city residents is at risk due to the high rate of urbanization and the extensive use of electronics. In the context of urbanization, individuals have become increasingly disconnected from nature, resulting in elevated stress levels among adults. The goal of this study was to investigate the physical and psychological benefits of spending time in nature. The benefits of touching real grass and artificial turf (the control activity) outdoors with the palm of the hand for five minutes were measured. Blood pressure and electroencephalography (EEG) as well as State-trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scores, and the semantic differential scale (SDM) were used to investigate psychophysiological responses. Touching real grass was associated with significant changes in brainwave rhythms and a reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to touching artificial turf. In addition, SDM scores revealed that touching real grass increased relaxation, comfort, and a sense of naturalness while decreasing anxiety levels. Compared to the control group, the experimental group had higher mean scores in both meditation and attentiveness. Our findings indicate that contact with real grass may reduce physiological and psychological stress in adults.

“…Additionally, exposure to nature has been found to have a restorative effect on mental fatigue, improve prosocial tendencies, relieve stress, and enhance mood [91][92][93]. Other studies have reported that exposure to nature, such as to the sound of birds singing and to the smell of nature, can generate positive sensual reactions as well as positive aesthetic and visual pleasure [94,95]. Direct and active engagement with nature (involving senses such as touch and vision) also has positive effects on well-being [96].…”

This perspective paper explores the concept of multispecies design in architecture, focusing on the building scale. Historically, architects have prioritized human needs, neglecting nature’s integration in urban settings, leading to environmental and social challenges. To address these issues, a new multispecies approach that promotes the integration of ecological knowledge into architectural design has evolved. This paper aims to map existing concepts, challenges, and gaps in this novel multispecies approach, focusing on the building scale design process and suggests a roadmap for its implementation. This paper analyzes the existing literature and current architectural practices. This analysis is complemented by the findings from an architectural design studio that have highlighted real-world challenges not readily apparent in the literature. By promoting a multispecies architectural paradigm, this research not only underscores a transformative approach to building design but also positions multispecies design as an essential strategy in combatting the challenges of declining biodiversity and escalating climate change.
