Nature-derived sounds have de-stress value for people with gambling addiction

Caption

Fig 1. Oxyhemoglobin (oxy-Hb) concentration in the prefrontal cortex in response to auditory stimulation using nature sounds was remarkably low in participants, indicating positive physiological effects. Fig 2. Using the modified semantic differential questionnaire, which evaluates the emotional response of participants to auditory stimuli using three sets of indices (comfortable to uncomfortable, relaxed to awakening, and natural to artificial), researchers found positive psychological effects of nature-derived sound.
