Abstract:

 

The purpose of the present study was to analyze the effects of LED lighting with three different color temperature values on the stability, concentration, activation, and stress indices of electroencephalogram (EEG) during a robot programming activity. The EEG was measured in the presence and absence of LED lighting. Variations in EEG from bilateral prefrontal and occipital lobes were measured during a robot programming activity under color temperature values in the presence of LED lighting. Based on the measured EEG values, the stability, concentration, activation, and stress indices were calculated and analyzed. Subjects were classified into two groups based on the brain regions from which a stronger α-wave was generated (prefrontal or occipital lobes). LED lighting with a color temperature of 7000 K increased overall EEG indices during the robot programming activity; LED lighting with color temperature of 5000 K also increased several indices. These findings support previous results that high color temperatures over 5000 K may facilitate learning in mathematics and sciences, suggesting that color temperature may need to be adjusted according to the types of learning and personal characteristics of learners.
