Psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman of Hertfordshire University claimed that he created what is being billed as ‘The world’s most relaxing room.’ Based on cutting-edge scientific research, this unique space features a combination of light, projection, sound, and smell designed to guarantee ultimate bliss.
He designed and constructed a large-scale multi-media space that aims to calm even the most stressed out of minds.
The room will be unveiled at the launch event of the Showcase on Tuesday 21 October at 6pm.
During the Showcase, which runs from 21-24 October at the University’s de Havilland campus, groups of up to ten visitors at a time will be invited to enter this large and unusual space, lie on soft matting and rest their head on lavender-scented pillows. In each fifteen minute session, people will be bathed in a calming glade-like green light, listen to a specially composed soothing soundtrack, and look at a completely clear artificial blue sky.
“The pace of modern-day life, credit crunch, and financial crisis is making many people feel very stressed and so we have created this space to help them relax”, noted Professor Wiseman.
“Research suggests that the subdued green light enhances the production of dopamine in the brain and provide a calming sensation. In addition, the artificial blue sky helps create a mild form of sensory deprivation that will help them turn their attention inward and distract them away from daily stress.”
Professor Wiseman added, “Previous work has shown that these colours, sounds and smells all help people relax, but this is the first time that they have been combined in this way, and it will be fascinating to look at the effect on visitors’ relaxation levels.“
This is a great idea! This will definitely reduce work-related stress.
Your first appearance, he said to me, is the gauge by which you will be measured; try to manage that you may go beyond yourself in after times, but beware of ever doing less.
