Urbanization is one of
the most relevant global transformation processes for health.
By 2050, about 70% of the world's population will live in an urbanized environment
.
While the benefits of an urbanized lifestyle include access to education, health care, food, and more, epidemiological data suggest that urban dwellers are at higher
risk of mental health.
Conversely, the available evidence suggests that the natural environment (i.
e.
, blue and green spaces) may have a positive impact on human health as they promote physical activity and overall well-being
.
However, systematic research programmes in (neuro)biology, psychology and sociology that effectively integrate urban life, health and well-being remain undeveloped
.
Research and educational practices based on biomedical and biopsychosocial models are insufficient to effectively integrate and explain the complexities
that come with existing data.
Future research requires systematic and parametric testing of the effectiveness, effectiveness and implementation
of natural/re-wilderness.
Recently, at the 35th ECNP Congress in Vienna, Austria, Professor Francisco Parada of the Center for Psychology, Human Neuroscience and Neuropsychology at Diego Portales University in Chile presented the main issues in
understanding the impact of the natural and built environment on cognitive processes.
It provides the foundational concepts of the 4E perspective and mobile brain/body imaging framework, which are promising concepts and technical tools
for studying brain/body/environmental systems in real world and laboratory settings.

Hypothetical recognition of brain/body state activation during interaction
Three historical "waves of complexity" have been identified, providing rapid ideas for the exploration and development of complex and dynamic mechanisms that will support a holistic and integrated view
of the brain/body world system.
Francisco Parada further proposes a fourth wave, emerging
from the benign epistemological and methodological synchronization of MoBI/4E interactions.
This wave allows neuroscientists to accept, enjoy, explore, and understand the complexities
of biophysics in the human experience.
The generation of integrated mechanical models of human interaction is the goal
of this "fourth wave".
Human interaction is essential
for the development of natural cognition.
Rose (1997) refers to this global condition as a "lifeline" that we can even think of as a "way of life"
.
Thus, MoBI/4E scientists will have the task of simulating the brain/body dynamics of individuals and groups as they unfold in specific time (e.
g.
, longitudinal recordings) and parts of space (e.
g.
, buildings and natural environments), taking into account not only (neuro)physiological dynamics, but also comparing and mapping people's subjectively constituted environments
.
Figure 2 4E approach
to the human microbiota.
The global network of microbial ecosystems that individuals encounter throughout their lives is living microbial evidence that thickens
with their own embedded history of interaction.
The microbiome is a symbiotic link
in which a single circuit of an organism is combined with its embedded environment.
The complexity of the human mind and its interaction with the environment is one of
the major epistemological debates in history.
Recent views framed from the 4E (embodied, embedded, extended, and generative cognition) perspectives emphasize that human experience causality depends on intra- and extra-brain processes, but is also rooted in specific socio-material contexts and is the product
of historical accumulation of changes throughout the trajectory of life.
Therefore, the human microbiome is one of
the most interesting roles in regulating brain function and physiology.
Francisco Parada et al.
proposed the 4E approach to the human microbiome to understand mental processes from a broader perspective, including the physical physiology and environment of a person throughout their lifespan, interconnected
through the community structure and dynamics of the microbiome.

Tertiary model of neuroaesthetic art therapy research
The use of mobile brain/body imaging (MoBI) is expanding and allows for more direct study
of behavior-related neurophysiological signals in psychotherapeutic encounters.
Neuroaesthetics is concerned with the cognitive and neural basis of art appreciation, and scientific connections in this field may help clarify theories
claimed in creative arts therapy.
However, most neuroaesthetic research is limited to the laboratory and no translation
of research methods and clinical applications is presented.
Creative arts therapy has a long history of clinical success in diverse patient populations and will benefit from a growing body of scientific explanation to support intervention strategies
.
By examining brain dynamics and motor behavior associated with the advanced complex processes involved in artistic expression, MoBI becomes a promising tool for linking
neuroaesthetic ideas to creative art therapy.
Tracking brain dynamics associated with behavioral changes allows for more objective and quantitative physiological monitoring, combined with the patient's subjective report, to provide insight into the psychological mechanisms
of changes during treatment.
The fields of art therapy, neuroscience, and neuroaesthetics can collaborate within the framework of 4E/MoBI in an effort to advance interdisciplinary research
in clinically healthy populations.
