People reason, feel, and interact in extensive environments. As they explore their surroundings, their space becomes intertwined with emotional experiences. Yet, beyond navigational behaviours, little is known about the distribution of emotions and cognition in topographical space. Here we developed a novel method that, even in the absence of mobility (ie, during the national Covid-19 lockdown), allowed us to sample the link between emotions, environment, mental health, and the capability to sense/interpret inner bodily sensations (interoception). We gave participants maps of the region on which they lived and asked them to indicate, by applying shade to the map, the areas where they had happy and sad memories, and where they wanted to go after the nationwide Covid-19 lockdown. We also asked them to complete two self-report questionnaires on mental health and interoceptive awareness. By adapting neuroimaging methods, we examined shaded pixels instead of voxels in the brain to quantify where in the maps and how strong different emotions relate to one’s geographical space. The results revealed that positive emotions, mental health, and internal bodily regulation were associated with discrete, yet partially overlapping spatial locations. Importantly, participants’ mapping response and where they wanted to go after the lockdown overlapped significantly with natural environments (vs. non-natural). Considering that environments feature relevant resources for the attainment of psychophysiological balance, our results provide new evidence that supports contemporary models of allostasis in topographical space.
