Blue Light Revvs Up Your Working Memory!

Blue light waves in particular help the brain to stay alert and support working memory tasks that take deep thinking or problem solving. Working memory … according to Ellen Weber it’s your mental capacity to hold onto a few different facts while you noodle them to solve a problem or to create something new…

Findings from a recent study show show we're influenced by wide ranging effects of light on how we perform and feel. Additionally there are implications for the development of better artificial light environments and a better understanding of the effects of light on the human brain in general.

Ready to make some changes in your lighting so you can ratchet up your working memory? How about energy efficient flourescent bulbs? Many produce blue light. Your brainpower can go green, too!

Thoughts?
