After recording the EEG signals, the obtained data were converted into numbers by MATLAB software and entered into the NeuroGuide software and the range of fluctuation of the person brain activity was compared to the normal database and the results were presented in the form of brain maps. By comparing the values obtained from the recording of waves in a person with normal values, it is determined which of the waves and in which area has inappropriate activity. 

The electrical activity of the brain was converted into numbers using MATLAB, a data analysis software. The numbers were then entered into NeuroGuide, a brain analysis software. The software compared the person’s brain activity with a normal brain database and displayed the results as brain maps. By comparing the person’s brain waves with normal values, the researchers could see which brain waves and which brain areas were working abnormally.

Visual quality is one of the important qualitative aspects of the environment, especially residential space. It seems that visibility and visual quality affect the perception of residents and their spatial behavior and is considered a significant factor in housing quality and the mental health of residents. 

What one can see greatly impacts the quality of their environment, especially in the places where they live. What people can see and how good the view is can affect how they behave in a space. It is also an important factor in the quality of housing and in people’s mental health.

Analyzing the wave dynamics in quantitative brain mapping when viewing window with a view compared to the control group (viewing window with curtains) shows a decrease in the power of theta waves in the left hemisphere (F7-T5) and an increase in the power of beta frequency in the right hemisphere in the right frontotemporal areas (F8-T6).

By analyzing the changes in brain waves when viewing a window versus not viewing it, there is a decrease in theta wave power (related to drowsiness) in the left hemisphere (F7-T5) and an increase in beta wave power (related to decision-making and focus) in the right frontotemporal area (F8-T6).

According to the available evidence, the increase in theta coherence in the frontotemporal and occipitofrontal areas can indicate the sustainability of attention and the improvement of the emotional information processing process in the frontotemporal pathway.

• Write your translation on the next line:

Research shows that an increase in theta coherence in the frontotemporal and occipitofrontal areas may indicate that a person viewing a window without curtain has better and longer-lasting focus, as well as improved processing of emotion.

This research was conducted with subjects looking at the window for only three minutes. Future studies could examine the effects of spending longer periods living or working in spaces with or without a window view. Comparing the effects of different types of window views or varying distances from the window could also be explored in follow-up research.

I am able to understand almost everything, but I do find Part 3, Theoretical Framework, more challenging as it involves unfamiliar scientific terms related to brain neurology and their research methodology. For instance, “A normal EEG tape consists of a complex combination of multiple frequencies. Alpha waves are waves with a frequency of 8–13 Hz per second that appear when the eyes are closed during waking” is one of the more difficult passages.
