Our preregistered systematic review & meta-analysis published in Nature Mental Health shows that nature exposure is linked to small-to-moderate reductions in self-reported pain (SMD = .53; N = 4,439). But high heterogeneity and moderate-to-high risk of bias call for a cautious interpretation (1/5)

The authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 62 studies, including more than 4,400 participants across 21 countries, to investigate the effects of nature exposure on self-reported pa...

Excited to share that our recent study on nature exposure 🌲 and its impact on subjective and neural pain processing 🧠⚡ (rdcu.be/evMrv) was featured on Austrian national television (ORF). From minute 11 to 15 you can catch me and @clauslamm.bsky.social discussing the study design and key findings.

G'sunder Sommer in Österreich: Die Kraft der Natur

Wenn die Pflanzen in den Alpen blühen und die Wälder rauschen, wird Österreichs Natur zur besten Medizin. Wer Körper, Geist und Natur in Einklang bringen will, ist hier goldrichtig – besonders im Somm...

My talented colleague and friend @todorova.bsky.social just published a paper I had the pleasure of contributing to. We explore how climate action and brain health are deeply linked. Climate action can benefit our brains, and our brains shape how we act. Caring for the planet = caring for ourselves.

Can nature relieve pain 🌳🧠⚡️? Our latest preregistered neuroimaging study, now out in Nature Communications, suggests it can. We find that virtual nature exposure reduces both subjective and neural pain responses, even when compared to matched control environments. A 🧵 1/6 doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Nature exposure induces analgesic effects by acting on nociception-related neural processing - Nature Communications

Virtual nature exposure reduces self-reported pain and is associated with decreased brain responses linked to somatosensory and nociceptive processing, providing new insights into the underlying mecha...
