Summary
This paper investigates the influence of 'breathing lights' (lights that dim and illuminate in synchronization with human breathing) on users' emotions, finding that they can effectively regulate mood by lowering heart rates and electrodermal values.
Categories
Mood regulation: The paper investigates how 'breathing lights' can regulate users' moods, finding that they can lower heart rates and electrodermal values, suggesting an unconscious influence on mood.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper explores the design of 'breathing lights' and their impact on users' emotions, providing insights that could be useful for designers and engineers in managing user emotion.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how light can influence cognitive and emotional behavioural performance, with a focus on the impact of 'breathing lights'.
Well-being: The paper's findings suggest that 'breathing lights' can have a positive impact on users' well-being by regulating their moods.
