Summary
This paper examines the effects of monochromatic light on the time sense and the central nervous system, finding that the time sense ran faster in the red-light than in the blue-light condition.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how different light conditions can affect cognitive function, specifically the perception of time.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper's findings could be relevant to lighting design, as they suggest that different colors of light can have different effects on people's perception of time.
Well-being: The paper's findings could have implications for well-being, as they suggest that different colors of light can have different effects on people's perception of time and potentially their mood or comfort.
