Examines neurophysiological responses to soundscapes in individuals, suggesting insights into stress and engagement levels.

The aim is to investigate soundscape effects through neurophysiological measurements alongside subjective perceptions.
Recorded EEG activity of 30 individuals experiencing four soundscapes.
Utilized binaural and stereo audio formats.
Collected subjective data using the Usoh and Steed questionnaire.
Focused on ecological park, riverwalk, music venue, and traffic environments.
The study indicates variations in stress levels based on the soundscape type.
Engagement and excitement were notably higher in music environments.
Findings suggest ecological settings may reduce stress more effectively than urban traffic.

Solorio et al. (2026) studied this question.
