To see a life in pink colour

Scientists of University of Toronto have proved for the first time that our mood changes color images of visual system literally. So, our mood is capable to change color perception of a brain.


Positive or sad emotions influence work of a visual bark in a brain: when we rejoice, the visual bark incorporates more of the color information and when are afflicted - less, neurologists speak.





Experts used a method of a functional magnetic resonance to study, how the visual bark supervises processes of the touch information in a brain at various moods. The good mood did the world visually more brightly while negative - is dimmer.
To see a life in pink color - this phrase can become now a biological reality.


Positive emotions allow a brain to process visually larger number of visible objects; however researchers notice that this potential can lead to impossibility to concentrate attention.


According to the Canadian psychotherapists, the good mood expands horizons of the visible world, allowing to perceive a reality more globally, with integration prospect.


Side effects of such ability consist in derivation from the important problems demanding a narrow orientation: for example, work with the dangerous equipment or check of luggage of passengers at the airport.
