To find out more, the researchers recorded the brain activity of 49 volunteers using functional magnetic resonance imaging . The first scene depicted a lake surrounded by trees blowing in the wind, while the sounds of rustling leaves and birdsong played in the background. “Our study is the first to provide evidence from brain scans that this isn’t just a placebo effect,” Steininger said
