“…The No.1 to No.6 groups were assigned to watch the No.1 to No.6 videos, respectively. Considering substantial previous research had proved the beneficial effects of direct and indirect contact with forests on the human body [24][25][26]31,32], no control group was set up in this study. Each participant was given a schedule for the experiment and was asked to be in the experimental room on time.…”

“…With the rapid development of image projection technology, many studies have confirmed that the beneficial effects of forests on humans are still present when using displayed images [30]. Some studies have also compared the benefits of direct and indirect nature stimuli on humans and found no significant difference between them [31]. As an emerging method of image research, videos can show landscapes more realistically and comprehensively in a three-dimensional space.…”

This study illustrated the physiological and psychological effects of watching videos of different durations showing bamboo forests with varied structures. Physiological indicators, including EEG (electroencephalogram), blood pressure, skin conductance, and pulse, were monitored in 180 Chinese university students (mean age: 20.72 ± 2.56 years) while they were watching bamboo videos. Before and after watching the videos, their psychological indicators, including positive and negative moods, were measured using the Profile of Mood States questionnaire. After watching the bamboo videos of different durations, all of the physiological indicators responded to the stimulation after only 1 min. The indicators showed different trends at 1, 3 and 5 min. EEG decreased and then was maintained at a stable level after 1 min, and the high β, low β, and α waves had no significant differences between 1, 3 and 5 min. Blood pressure dropped to a stable state after 3 min, and the decline was significantly different greater after 3 min than after 1 min. Skin conductance increased for 1 to 5 min, and it did not stabilize after a long time (5 min). Pulse decreased after 1 min but increased after 5 min. After watching the videos with bamboo of varying structures, the physiological and psychological indicators showed significantly different changes. Skin conductance significantly increased (mean value: 6.78%), and the amount of sweat was more effectively reduced, thereby reducing tension, when the students viewed videos of sympodial bamboo forests compared with monopodial bamboo forests. Bamboo forests with a higher canopy density (0.83–0.85) could significantly decrease α waves (mean value: 1.50 Hz), relaxing the human body. High β and low β waves showed greater decreases, with tension reduced more effectively, when bamboo forests with a low tilt ratio (< 1.5%) were viewed. Bamboo forests with neat undergrowth could have more beneficial physiological and psychological effects on the human body.

“…De Kort et al [32] conclude that immersion enhances the restorative potential of a mediated natural environment but an interaction between screen size and restorative phase exist. An interesting investigation based on VR is the effectiveness of virtual nature in respect to real visit [33]. The authors affirmed that indirect nature experience also provided positive psychological and physiological effects, except for parasympathetic nerve activity.…”

The paper presents an integrated methodology to assess psychological and physiological responses of people when exposed to forests, with the main objective of assessing the suitability of different stands for stress recovery on the basis of tree species and density. From the methodological viewpoint, the study applies both a Restoration Outcome Scale (ROS) questionnaire and a neuroscientific technique grounded on electro-encephalographic (EEG) measurement. Results show different outcomes for conifers and broadleaves as well as a statistical significance of density in the evaluation of an individual’s emotional state. A forest with a high density of conifers and low density of broadleaves seems to be the proper combination for stress recovery. The differences among psychological stated preferences and EEG trends highlights potential conflict among “needs” and “wants” of people in the topic of stress relief. Potential applications of the research for health care and territorial marketing operations are suggested.

“…Comparative studies on the changes of individuals' emotional, cognitive, and physiological status when they walk in natural green spaces and urban built environments reveal the promoting role of natural experience on mental health [36] [37] . The control study at the virtual lab shows that watching images of natural landscapes (indirect nature experience) helps relieve mental pressure as well [38] .…”
