This study explores the physiological and psychological impacts of the field and non-field leisure farm landscapes on human beings. The leisure farm landscapes in this study are divided into garden, waterscape, and tunnel trellis. In terms of the psychological part, two psychological questionnaires: attention restoration and preference level are used for the measurement, while physiological feedback instruments are used to measure three physiological indicators: EMG, EEG, and heart rate. The qualities of being away, fascination, and preference level in attention restoration have no significant difference with EMG and EEG. In terms of the heart rate, it is higher in non-field when viewing the garden landscape, possibly because of the influence of the surrounding parrot noises. Except for the visual perception in the field testing, the other senses are also influenced. The exploration of the visual benefits in the non-field testing is beneficial for the test variable control management.
