Abstract

Summary:

This paper investigates how different anxiety levels affect color information processing in humans, finding that negative emotional conditions may affect color sense processing.

Categories

  • Depression: The paper discusses how negative emotional states, such as depression and anxiety, affect visual evoked potentials and color perception.
  • Anxiety: The paper investigates how different anxiety levels affect color information processing in humans, finding that negative emotional conditions may affect color sense processing.
  • Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how emotional effects on visual functions may have color-specificity because the color information from photoreceptors project to primary visual cortex selectively.
  • Mood regulation: The paper suggests that anxiety affects secondary visual processing in prefrontal regions, after V1, which may affect mood regulation.
