Ice gets the grant
Nothing new about this, EXCEPT the obvious reference to "global warming".
Watching immersive 360 videos of icy Arctic scenes helps to relieve intense burning pain and could hold hope for treating chronic pain, a small study has found. Scientists from Imperial College London have found that using virtual reality headsets could combat increased sensitivity to pain, by immersing people in scenes of icebergs, frigid oceans and sprawling icescapes.Active distraction has ALWAYS been known to break the positive feedback cycles of pain and spasms and anxiety. Before technology, people danced or knitted or walked or sang to create the distracting RHYTHMIC stimulus. Since the invention of sound and video technology like movies and phonographs, therapists have been using technical methods to provide the distraction. The choice of ice and snow seems peculiar. Cold causes muscle spasms. Warm cozy scenes would relax muscles better. AHA! This is in England, where EVERYBODY is required to think the same thoughts in unison. So a scene that shows the Arctic BEFORE IT VAPORIZED would be seen as a mythical nostalgic memory of cozy times in the distant prehistoric past before KKKTRUMPHITLER pushed the BURNING OCEANS out to 9999999 gigamiles, drowning the moon and sun and Milky Way in BURNING BURNING BURNING KKKTRUMPHITLERWATER. Even if the scene doesn't really work that way on the patients, it certainly worked that way on the granting agencies.
