I agree!

Hi Susan,

Yes, I think this seemingly simple study brings up so many other questions. In the field of art therapy, I think we make assumptions about how people perceive images. This study points the fact that there is something more, depending on the source of the image. I am wondering if nature automatically stimulates many different sensory parts of the brain-- and what are those, since I am not a neuroscientist. And then there is now an entire generation that is growing up on experiences of staring at a Blackberry screen, computer monitor, etc, even when they are outside in a natural environment. And watching Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet to get a dose of the outdoors!

Thanks for your observations!
