Blue Light and the Brain
Hard
Does blue light have an effect on how our brains process emotions? This science project will explore the potential effects of blue light on the human brain.
Hypothesis
The hypothesis is that blue light has an effect on how our brains process emotions.
Method & Materials
You will divide participants into two groups, one that will be tested with blue light and one with regular white light. You will then replace the light bulbs in the room with blue light bulbs and have the participants view emotional scenes from a movie. After viewing the scenes, the participants will rate their emotional well-being on a scale of 1-3.
You will need 20 participants, a room with adequate indoor lighting, a supply of blue light bulbs, emotional scenes from a movie, and a data sheet.
Results
The experiment showed that blue light had an effect on how the participants processed emotions. The results showed that the participants who were exposed to blue light had a higher emotional rating than those who were exposed to regular white light.
Why do this project?
This science project is interesting because it explores the potential effects of blue light on the human brain, which has not been studied in depth before.
Also Consider
Variations of this experiment could include testing different colors of light or testing different types of emotional scenes.
