The document describes a scientific study that investigated whether casual video games could improve mood and decrease stress. 134 participants played casual games like Bejeweled 2 or Peggle for 20 minutes while connected to EEG and HRV equipment to measure brain waves and physiological responses. Results found that the game groups had significantly greater reductions in negative mood and stress levels compared to a control group based on psychological surveys and brain wave analysis. This provides evidence that casual video games may have therapeutic benefits for relieving stress and improving mood.
