Looking through blue glasses: bioelectrical measures to assess the awakening after a calm situation

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2019 Jul:2019:526-529. doi: 10.1109/EMBC.2019.8856486.

Abstract

Colors can elicit cognitive and emotional states. In particular, blue colour is associated to "refresh" and "restart" effects and is suggested to enhance a wake-up after a calm situation. In this exploratory study, these claims are investigated using Electroencephalographic (EEG), Skin Conductance (SC) and pupil diameter data. The results confirmed the "wake-up effect" for subjects wearing the lenses, as measured by Global Field Power (GFP) in Theta Band, Skin Conductance Response (SCR) and pupil diameter data.
