men and women to pick the 20 paintings they considered most ugly and most beautiul rom a selection o 300 works by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli They were then asked to watch either the beautiul paintings or the ugly paintings or a blank panel while the team struck a short laser pulse at their hand creating a sensation as if they had been hurt by a pin The subjects rated the pain as being a third less intense while they were viewing the beautiul paintings compared with when considering the ugly paintings or the blank panel N6KTYYN2VL Electrodes 电极 measuring the brain s electrical activity also conirmed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at beautiul paintings While distractions 娱乐 such as music are known to reduce pain in hospital patients Pro de Tommaso says this is the first result to show that beauty plays a part The indings reported in New Scientist also go a long way to show that beautiul surroundings could aid the healing process

paintings do not But at least there is no suggestion that ugly surroundings make the pain worse I think these results show that more research is needed into the how a beautiul environment can reduce suering N6KTYYN2VL Pictures they liked included Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and Botticellis Birth o Venus Pictures they ound ugly included works by Pablo Picasso the Italian 20th century artist

they never had the time or energy to pursue beore But some recent studies on people in their depression and possibly higher rates of other diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure That s why a new study of French workers is welcome news N6KTYYN2VL Led by Hugo Westerlund a proessor of psychology at Stockholm University the study of more than 14 000 workers found lower rates of depression and atigue in people after they got tired while they were still employed N6KTYYN2VL The scientists followed the employees of the French national gas and electric company or 14 years They
