The Effect of Thermal Stimuli on the Emotional Perception of Images [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2016
Thermal stimulation is a feedback channel that has the potential to influence the emotional response of people to media such as images. While previous work has demonstrated that thermal stimuli might have an effect on the emotional perception of images, little is understood about the exact emotional responses different thermal properties and ...

A New Personalized Cooling Protocol to Activate Brown Adipose Tissue in Young Adults

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity is induced when humans are exposed to cold. Therefore, cold exposure prior to the 18F-FDG-PET/CT scan is used as a tool to quantify BAT. Several cooling protocols, including fixed and personalized ones are currently in

Thermal perception method of virtual chemistry experiments [PDF]

Virtual Reality & Intelligent Hardware, 2020
Background: With the aim of addressing the difficulty in identifying temperatures in virtual chemistry experiments, we propose a temperature-sensing simulation method of virtual chemistry experiments. Methods: We construct a virtual chemistry experiment temperature simulation platform, based on which a wearable temperature generation device is ...

Athlete perceptions of flavored, menthol-enhanced energy gels ingested prior to endurance exercise in the heat

Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2022
Background L-menthol evokes a cooling sensation by activating cold sensing cation channels. Menthol-enhanced fluids can be ergogenic during exercise in the heat by improving thermal perception; hence, the addition of menthol to energy gels may benefit ...
