“…This finding is consistent with prior research that has suggested that the colour red captures attention more readily than other colours do (Bellizzi & Hite, 1992;Clynes, 1977;Lu & Zhou, 2005;Maier et al, 2009;Mehta & Zhu, 2009;Tchernikov & Fallah, 2010;Wilson, 1966). As such, isoluminant blue and yellow are more appropriate when looking at attention-based differences in dorsal and ventral visual stream contribution.…”

“…As in the first study, there was no bias observed on the green judgments in the isoluminant colour task; however a significant leftward bias was seen for red judgments, further suggesting that red captures attention differently than green does. The current findings, along with prior research suggesting red might preferentially capture attention (Bellizzi & Hite, 1992;Clynes, 1977;Lu & Zhou, 2005;Maier et al, 2009;Mehta & Zhu, 2009;Tchernikov & Fallah, 2010;Wilson, 1966), suggest that it not appropriate to use red-green stimuli on the isoluminant colour task. Instead, blue-yellow isoluminant stimuli were used in the third study to better examine whether a bias persists with isoluminant colour.…”

“…It can be seen that the colour red should not be used to examine perceptual asymmetries in spatial attention due to its ability to preferentially capture attention (Bellizzi & Hite, 1992;Clynes, 1977;Lu & Zhou, 2005;Maier et al, 2009;Mehta & Zhu, 2009;Tchernikov & Fallah, 2010;Wilson, 1966). When the isoluminant colours blue and yellow were used, no bias emerged and when these data were combined with the green data from studies 1 and 2 and compared with luminance and motion scores, a significantly stronger left bias was seen on both motion and luminance compared to colour.…”

“…There is a great deal of evidence indicating that red captures attention more readily than other colours do (Bellizzi & Hite, 1992;Clynes, 1977;Elliot, Maier, Moller, Friedman, & Meinhardt, 2007;Lu & Zhou, 2005;Maier, Barchfeld, Elliot, & Pekrun, 2009;Mehta & Zhu, 2009;Tchernikov & Fallah, 2010;Wilson, 1966). If the colour red preferentially attracts attention, a leftward spatial bias might emerge simply as a result of the initial capture of attention by red, possibly toward the left side.…”

Upper and lower visual field differences in perceptual asymmetries

Neurologically normal individuals show a leftward spatial bias and tend to collide with objects on the right side more frequently than on the left. The upper visual field is associated with extrapersonal space, and mediated by the ventral stream through parvocellular projections.The lower visual field is associated with peripersonal space, and mediated by the dorsal stream through magnocellular projections. Upper and lower visual field differences have been observed in perceptual asymmetries but results have been mixed. Object-and space-based coordinates also both influence the leftward bias; however their relative contributions are unknown as similar spatial conditions are often collapsed across. More left-side collisions emerged on a route following task in the lower visual field and more right-side collisions were seen in the upper visual field (Thomas, Stuckel, Gutwin, & Elias, 2009). Left-handers made more right-side collisions in the central condition, whereas right-handers showed no bias. Leftward biases on the greyscales task were stronger in the lower visual field; however no distance-based differences were observed (Thomas & Elias, 2010). A stronger spatial bias was found on the greyscales task, whereas a stronger object-based bias was found on the object luminosity task (Thomas & Elias, in press). When individual spatial conditions were examined, the image chosen most often was always located in the lower field. Stimulus type and spatial location interacted to determine which coordinate type contributes more strongly to leftward biases. We also found that the leftward bias on the greyscales task was stronger in the lower visual field during prolonged presentation and in the upper visual field during brief presentation. A global motion task was created to preferentially engage magnocellular projections to the dorsal stream. Isoluminant red/green and blue/yellow colour tasks, which preferentially engage parvocellular projections to the ventral stream, were also created. Leftward biases were seen on the greyscales and motion tasks. On an isoluminant colour task, biases were significantly weakened, suggesting

“…Physiological investigations into colour have found correlations between colour hue and arousal levels. Wilson (1966) reported that red was more arousing than green when GSR was used as the arousal variable. This is adopted for this project to feature colour changes in order to vary arousal levels.…”

For stress management and well-being, there are many approaches that require heightened awareness of different bodily motions. Based on psychological studies of physiological response to music, LIVeMotion integrates a range of multimedia technologies, exploring several different sensor measurements to monitor external and internal "motions". Sensor data analysis and feature detections are mapped to visualisation and sonification feedback to enhance awareness of one's consciousness of bodily movement. With a brief background on the relationship between stress, music, physiology, and related literature, this paper discusses design considerations and development. Using several specific Use Cases, the paper demonstrates different application scenarios with the proposed system. Visualisation. Sonification. Mindfulness. Physiology. Multi-sensory.
