The Cognitive and Emotional Effects of Birdsong: A Multimodal Psychophysiological Investigation

This study examines whether short-term exposure to birdsong improves mood, enhances working memory, and reduces physiological stress. Using a counterbalanced within-subjects design, participants complete cognitive tasks and mood surveys alongside EEG, HRV, and SCL recording. Simulated data illustrate expected trends supporting birdsong as a potential natural intervention.
