Study : Heart Rates Rise and Fall Together During Storytelling

In June 2019, at the University of Birmingham in England, psychologist Damian Cruse invited 27 young adults to come to the lab, on separate occasions, and listen to the same clips from an audiobook of Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Sitting alone, each donned headphones and electrocardiogram (EKG) equipment while a voice with a British accent recounted tales of a mysterious monster taking down ships. When researchers later compared volunteers’ heart rates, a curious phenomenon emerged: The heart rates of nearly two-thirds of the participants rose and fell together as the story progressed.

Nature’s Health Benefits

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29982151/

Conclusions: Greenspace exposure is associated with numerous health benefits in intervention and observational studies. These results are indicative of a beneficial influence of greenspace on a wide range of health outcomes. However several meta-analyses results are limited by poor study quality and high levels of heterogeneity. Green prescriptions involving greenspace use may have substantial benefits. Our findings should encourage practitioners and policymakers to give due regard to how they can create, maintain, and improve existing accessible greenspaces in deprived areas. Furthermore the development of strategies and interventions for the utilisation of such greenspaces by those who stand to benefit the most.

The Health Benefits of Natural Sounds

Scientific study exploring the benefits of natural sounds. It demonstrates an overall positive result for most people, both when hearing the sounds inside or outside. Some sounds worked better for soothing nerves, such as water.

The overall mean effect size for health and positive affect outcomes was 1.63 (95% CI = 0.09, 3.16), corresponding to a 184% overall improvement in groups exposed to natural sounds relative to comparison groups (Fig. 1). The large variance in effect sizes was due to one study with particularly large effect sizes (28). The overall mean effect size for stress and annoyance outcomes was −0.60 (95% CI = −0.97, −0.23), corresponding to a 28% overall decrease in groups exposed to natural sounds relative to comparisons (Fig. 1).

Vibroacoustics for Relaxation, Stress Reduction and Relief.

“Conclusions: Suitability of VA methods in therapeutic programmes for promoting relaxation, reducing stress and relieving symptoms of anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties has found confirmation in several studies. Research results have also shown that one or a couple of sessions of VA therapy could be applied to healthy people to reduce fatigue or stress of daily life.”

Vibroacoustics in Diminishing Body Dissatisfaction

“In the present study vibroacoustic therapy was tried out in the case of body dissatisfaction, Vibroacoustic therapy promotes changes in the state of mood and comfort, which are important for bodily well-being. Vibroacoustic therapy can be used for reducing stress in a non clinical population and added to treatment programs, including interventions for diminishing body dissatisfaction.”

Effects of Vibroacoustics on Skin Blood Flow in the Arm

“Conclusions: Five minutes of 30 Hz or 50 Hz vibration produced significant increases in (skin blood flow) SBF. Clinically, 50 Hz has additional benefits because SBF increased more rapidly and did not result in vasoconstriction during the recovery period. Future studies should be done to determine if these increases in SBF could be of benefit to populations with low circulation such as those with diabetes.”

Effects of Vibroacoustics on Elderly Nursing Home Residents

“A significant improvement in sadness and depression as
assessed by the DMAS was shown in the 15 elderly NH residents (p<0.05) after 2 weeks of VAT. Overall, these findings suggest that VAT induced relaxation in the elderly NH residents with symptoms of depression." "These reports suggest that VAT has an effect similar to aerobic exercise through activation of the p38MAPK pathway." "Falempin et al. suggested that tendon vibration (120 Hz) applied to rat soleus muscle can be used as a strategy to counteract the atrophic process observed after hindlimb unloading" https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jpts/24/3/24_291/_pdf

Neurophysical Responses to Vibroacoustics in Rett Syndrome

Abstract
People with Rett syndrome (RTT) have severe communicative difficulties. They have as well an immature brainstem that implies dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Music plays an important role in their life, is often used as a motivating tool in a variety of situations and activities, and caregivers are often clear about people with RTTs favourites.

The results showed that all participants responded to the musical stimuli, but not always in the expected way. It was noticeable that both people with and without RTT responded with an arousal to all musical stimuli to begin with. Even though the initial expressions sometimes changed after some time due to poor control functions of their brainstem, the present results are consistent with the possibility that the RTT participants’ normal responses to music are intact. These findings may explain why music is so important for individuals with RTT throughout life.
