Experimental study of processes arising in the brain of visually impaired people under hand skin irradiation by electromagnetic waves of visual range
TLDR
Analysis of changes in brain rhythms showed that blue color influence on the palms skin increases the attention concentration, as evidenced by the maximum beta-rhythm increase, and green color is calming under the same conditions of action, which is confirmed by the high theta-rh rhythm activity level.
