“…These modalized experiences can sometimes be perceived as distinct sensory stimuli and have the potential to alleviate symptoms associated with mood disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and low mood. A recent study further supports the notion that the senses can serve as a tool for regulating emotions and modulating their intensity [15]. The paper suggests that sensation, as a rapid and relatively effortless form of emotion regulation, can effectively regulate emotions.…”

“…Through the analysis of the design framework of the healing space, the healing structure, and the analysis of the space to stimulate the senses and the senses to promote emotional regulation, it is found that many factors of the healing space can stimulate the human senses in a purposeful, planned and directed way, and this sensory information will produce positive emotional results thus to the purpose of emotional regulation. Among them, Figure 3 shows the interaction process between senses and environment [43], Canbeyli, Rodriguez and Kross, and others have shown that perceptual experience influences emotional experience [15,44]. This paper through three cases demonstrates the process that the elements of space can interact with the human senses to stimulate them to produce perceptual information and eventually influence the brain's emotions.…”

“…Positive emotional regulation plays a crucial role in the clinical treatment of mood disorders and other mental health conditions [14]. Additionally, research has demonstrated that conscious activation of different sensory organs (such as the eyes, ears, nose, and skin) can influence emotional experiences [15]. And the experience of architectural space is strongly connected to human emotions [16].…”

Healing spaces have played an important role in human history as arenas for healing and restoration of physical health. Current research from across disciplines identifies that engagement with space for people with mental illness can reduce emotional stress and thus improve health. This research leads to the central question of this paper: How do people with mood disorders achieve emotional regulation through healing spaces? In response to this question, this paper investigates the effects of sensory experience and architectural space on emotion regulation, with a particular focus on healing spaces. It proposes a model to analyze and explain how the design and use of healing spaces can create emotional experiences that stimulate patients’ senses and facilitate emotional regulation in individuals with mood disorders. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding how elements of healing spaces affect patients’ senses and contribute to the quality of emotion regulation. The paper argues that healing structures can effectively enhance the emotional experience of a space by creating a positive spatial atmosphere, thereby aiding in the healing process for patients with mood disorders. This paper’s analysis of the existing literature identifies key mechanisms by which healing spaces promote emotion regulation-healing structures-and breaks them down into three main structures: (a) Safety Guarantees Physical and Mental Development; (b) Functionality Supports the Treatment Process; (c) Ambiance Promotes Emotional Comfort, this study examines existing evidence to determine how healing structures promote emotionally regulated treatment. The study also explores representative examples of healing spaces and how they utilize spatial elements to stimulate the patient’s senses. This research results show that healing structures directly influence or facilitate eight primary spatial elements (color and form, light, sound, air and temperature, nature, materials, play and games, and activity and communication) which incorporate one or more dimensions of healing. Therefore, this paper aims to enhance our understanding and awareness of the correlation between interior space, human senses, and healing structures.

“…Extending this view, visual and somatosensory streams are increasingly seen as integral to affect generation. Recent work suggests that human sensation and emotion are inextricably linked (Rodriguez & Kross, 2023), and predicting perceptual and action demands is an essential part of embodied views of emotion (Niedenthal, 2007). Previous studies have found that emotion triggers distinct neural representations in the visual cortex (Bo et al, 2021;Kragel et al, 2019).…”

Cognitive reappraisal is fundamental to cognitive therapies and everyday emotion regulation. Analyses using Bayes factors and an axiomatic systems-identification approach identified four reappraisal-related components encompassing distributed neural activity patterns across two independent fMRI studies (n=182 and n=176): (1) An anterior prefrontal system selectively involved in cognitive reappraisal; (2) A fronto-parietal-insular system engaged by both reappraisal and emotion generation, demonstrating a general role in appraisal; (3) A largely subcortical system activated during negative emotion generation but unaffected by reappraisal, including amygdala, hypothalamus, and periaqueductal gray; and (4) a posterior cortical system of negative emotion-related regions down-regulated by reappraisal. These systems covaried with individual differences in reappraisal success and were differentially related to neurotransmitter binding maps, implicating cannabinoid and serotonin systems in reappraisal. These findings challenge limbic-centric models of reappraisal and provide new systems-level targets for assessing and enhancing emotion regulation.

“…In the context of stress regulation and resilience, this integration is of paramount importance for several reasons. Firstly, sensorimotor integration and simulation play a pivotal role in how individuals perceive and respond to stressors [ 17 ]. When a person encounters a stressful situation, such as a demanding digital interview, their sensory systems (e.g., visual and auditory) rapidly process environmental cues [ 18 ].…”

This study explored the role of sensorimotor simulation in modulating the stress response in individuals exposed to stressful digital simulated interviews. Participants were assigned to two different versions of a Digital Social Stress Test: a simulated version with a dynamic–realistic examining committee (Dyn-DSST) and a version with a static examining committee (Stat-DSST). During interview preparation, behavioral indices reflecting stress regulation and resistance, response times, and electroencephalographic (EEG) and autonomic indices were collected. Higher regulation scores were found for the Stat-DSST group compared to the Dyn-DSST group, probably induced by the presence of limited external sensory input in time and space, perceived as less stressful. The EEG results revealed a distinct contribution of the low- and high-frequency bands for both groups. Dyn-DSST required greater cognitive regulation effort due to the presence of a continuous flow of information, which can enhance sensory and motor activation in the brain. The SCR increased in the Dyn-DSST group compared to the Stat-DSST group, reflecting greater emotional involvement in the Dyn-DSST group and reduced sensory stimulation in the static version. In conclusion, the results suggest that sensorimotor simulation impacts the stress response differently in dynamic interviews compared to static ones, with distinct profiles based on behavioral, EEG, and autonomic measures.
