In the bizarro world of academic journals, the rights of the author are sacrosanct and the integrity of the scientific record is someone else's problem. A paper's validity depends on emails sent 2 months later. Datasets are interchangeable. The overall conclusions of the study are not affected.

In other words, theta activity in the RSC appears to anchor the body to surrounding space in an adaptive, orientation-stabilizing fashion.

This mechanism is fundamental for spatial orienting and it’s another very impressive contribution from @clementnaveilhan.bsky.social using mobile EEG with VR.

💡 Theta episodes increase at rotation onset, likely driven by vestibular acceleration signals, and
🧨 Most importantly, theta episodes align with the body’s cardinal axes, revealing a striking egocentric four-fold symmetry only during goal-directed rotations!

Building on our previous work (Building on our previous work (lnkd.in/dYrUV7Yc) showing increases in theta power to calibrate the path integrator during spatial navigation using landmark information and to reflect rotational movement execution, this new study demonstrates:

This work was led by @CarolinaZaehme & @izzysander.bsky.social, together with @aleksandrskoselevs.bsky.social and @SimoneKuehn from the @cen-mpib.bsky.social (CEN).

💡: Still images add another complication: green and built features often overlap, creating strong collinearity in pixel composition, rendering the statistical evaluation of individual factors difficult.

The study also highlights ongoing methodological challenges:
🌳 vs 🏢: Many experiments still compare extreme contrasts (e.g., “forest vs. city”), even though real urban environments contain continuous mixes of green and grey elements.

Importantly, neither P1 nor N1 was linked to participants’ scene appraisal. Instead, appraisal processes were reflected in later P3 and LPP components, suggesting a hierarchical processing pathway where natural elements are processed first, built elements next, and subjective appraisal later.

The P1 result also replicates previous work by, e.g., Simone Grassini, adding to a growing body of converging evidence that allows us to begin systematically testing major theoretical frameworks in the field, such as #Biophilia, #AttentionRestorationTheory, and #StressReductionTheory.

The findings are:
✨ The early P1 component of the visual-evoked response is sensitive to the green elements of urban scenes — but not to built features.
✨ The following N1 component shows the opposite pattern — responding to built aspects, but not to green ones.
