abstract = {It is known that colors and lighting have an influence on
human physiology with potential affection to cognitive performance.
Although according to some theories, cold colors (bluish) cause relaxation
and concentration while warm colors (redish) cause arousal and
alertness, researchers have not reached a consensus yet on the net effect
that this could cause on the performance of tasks under study. The objective
of the present study is to compare the academic performance under
two conditions, blue and red lighting, and see if any of them could be
advantageous during an auditory attentional task. Participants listened
to five auditory sustained attention tests while they were exposed to
either red or blue lightning, within a virtual reality environment, and
the cerebral activity was recorded using EEG. Our results showed that
students under the blue lighting condition achieved better and constant
academic performance right after the beginning of the first test and up to
the last one (68.3% vs. 60.0% median values). Also, a logistic regression
model was able to classify the color condition from the Power Spectral
Density of EEG bands (occipital electrodes yielding an accuracy of
84.6% (CI [57.8%–95.7%]). These results suggest that the blue color has
a positive and immediate impact on the academic performance of auditory
tests with noticeable differences in cerebral activity in comparison
with the red color. These promising results encourage researchers to gain
insights into the real influence of colors over the academic performance
with immediate impact on schools and academic centers.},
