The "World's Most Relaxing Room"

Professor Richard Wiseman is a Phsychologist who has designed a large-scale multi-media space that is supposed to calm you down. Your mind gets soothed by starting out laying on soft matting, and your head on lavender-scented pillows. Then green lights surround you, trying to give you that environmental feeling. A specially composed soothing soundtrack will start to play, and then you're looking at an artificial blue sky. The point of this room is to relieve you of all your stress. Such as students that are stressed about all their exams, and the financial crisis for the adult. Some research suggests that the blue sky creates a mild form of deprivation that helps to distract the people from all their stress.

Surfing The Web Helps?

New studies show that adults middle-aged or over, could increase their brain function by surfing the web. Scientists suggest that if they read a certain subject, it triggers that category that it goes under; and getting your brain more active leads you towards better decision-making. For example, if your reading something about the weather, then it would trigger the memory of weather in the past, and natural disasters. Scientists say that several functional changes occur, including atrophy, and reductions in cell activity; but keeping your brain active by staying online and thinking up topics to search preserves their brain's health. Studies also show that playing simple video games with their grandchildren, or even doing crossword puzzles will help.
