Neuroimaging study shows viewing nature reduces brain activity linked to pain perception.

Researchers monitored the brain activity of 49 participants in Austria , as they received pain delivered through a series of small electric shocks.

When they were watching videos of a natural scene compared to a city or an indoor office, participants reported feeling less pain.
