Gardening as one of the most popular active types of interaction with the world of flora is used by people to meet various needs (for example, intellectual, social and others). At the same time, its regenerative potential for the psyche of a person living in the conditions of the digital age and the urban environment remains underestimated. This literature review examines the main effects of gardening and garden therapy on the physical and psychological state of a person, as well as its potential in the context of strengthening social ties and social engagement. There are also positive effects of gardening on the psychological state of a person in childhood. The potential of gardening and gardening activities research as a way to reduce psychological distress resulting from social isolation and sedentary lifestyle during the Covid-19 pandemic is highlighted. The possible mechanisms of the beneficial effect of gardening on people's mental health are analyzed both within the framework of specific theories, including the stress reduction theory, the attention restoration theory, the theory of phyto-resonance, and in the context of individual modern studies. The literature review was conducted based on the analysis of studies on representatives of different cultures in different countries of the world (Australia, Great Britain, Iran, Italy, Oman, Romania, Singapore, USA, Taiwan, Sweden). The limitations of some of the studies under consideration are presented, mostly concerning the purity of their design; study vectors for further research and practical application are also outlined.

Hypergraphs provide a natural framework for representing neurophysiological interactions distributed across sets of sensors. A key methodological question is how hyperedges should be defined from frequency-resolved electroencephalography/magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG) data. We demonstrate a construction strategy in which hyperedges are obtained from canonical coherence (caCOH), an extension of coherence that estimates coupling between multidimensional signal spaces. To ...

Musical training has a significant impact on brain organization, leading to functional and structural
adaptations that enhance auditory, visual, motor, and cognitive processes. This study investigates how
extensive musical training shapes functional brain connectivity by comparing professional musicians and
non-musicians. Using EEG phase-locking value (PLV) analysis, we examined neural synchronization across
alpha, beta, and gamma frequency ranges during music ...

Context and relevance. In the context of accelerated urbanization and a growing disconnect from the natural
environment, there is increasing interest in biophilic attitudes — a system of stable views, beliefs, and

Precarious manhood theory (PMT) explains men's compensatory responses to masculinity threats in domains such as affect, aggression, risk-taking, dominance, and social attitudes. While recent meta-analytic evidence suggests that masculinity threat has a small-to-medium average effect, recent preregistered replication work has failed to reproduce some influential masculinity-threat effects in a large representative sample, raising questions about ...

Динамика аффекта — область исследований, изучающая изменения эмоций или их компонентов во времени, а также их причины и следствия. Два важных параметра динамики аффекта: нестабильность (резкость переходов между аффективными состояниями) и инерция (степень устойчивости аффективного тренда). Оба показателя взаимосвязаны с благополучием. Можно предположить, что с благополучием отрицательно взаимосвязан и паттерн взаимодействия высоких уровней нестабильности и ...
