Aesthetic Nature Films Promote Recovery From Stress

To measurable heart-rate reduction

Wearable biometrics captured significant reductions in heart rate and skin conductance while viewing Moving Art films, indicating sustained parasympathetic (rest-and-recovery) activation far beyond what unaided rest could produce.

Nature-Themed Therapy Shows Promise for Alcohol Use Disorder

14wk

Major reductions in alcohol use

↓ BP

Significantly lower cardiovascular stress

When paired with psilocybin-assisted therapy, Moving Art's Visual Healing films lowered blood pressure, eased patients into treatment, and supported lasting reductions in alcohol use, safely, and without interfering with the therapy.

"Visual Healing has potential to reduce the cardiovascular risks of psychedelic therapy and assist patients in feeling more relaxed and prepared."PNI Research Team

Already deployed at UC San Diego Health, UT Dallas, and partner institutions, with an active research collaboration at UC San Francisco. Moving Art content has been involved in clinical trials at UCSF, UCSD, Pacific Neuroscience Institute, UPenn, and The Center for Brain Health.
