The Nature Therapy Lab studies "human-nature interaction" by measuring the body's responses. The lab examines brain, autonomic nervous system, hormonal, and immune function when people are exposed to forests, parks, wood, flowers, and more, and verifies the physiological relaxation effects that nature provides. The lab combines field experiments conducted on site in forests and other settings with laboratory experiments that use stimuli for each of the five senses. Recently, the lab has focused on clarifying individual differences in these effects and on applications for people under severe stress.
