When your visual field expands, it's a message to your brain to relax -- there's nothing threatening you, for you to focus your vision on. 

That's why looking at horizons, oceans, or mountains is relaxing.

This comes from Dr. Andrew Huberman's research on brain development. You can learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gi9W-su9.
