If you have been under a lot of stress lately, it’ll help to surround yourself with blue light. For their work, the researchers made twelve volunteers to be stressed and then perform a relaxation session within the multisensory stimulation room at the School for Special Education. The participants lied down with no stimulus but a blue (group 1) or white (group 2) lighting. Diverse bio-signals, such as heart rate and brain activity, were measured throughout the whole session (by means of an electrocardiogram and an electroencephalogram). The results showed that blue lighting accelerated the relaxation process, in comparison with conventional white lighting.
