Summary

This study looked at how watching relaxing or stressful virtual reality (VR) content changes stress-related substances in the blood of 30 healthy adults. Participants watched a beach meditation or a rollercoaster ride for about 5 minutes, and blood was taken before and after. The goal was to see if different VR experiences affect blood markers like stress hormones and clotting factors.
