AHFE Open AccessEvaluation of the Effect of the Candle Holder Pattern on Concentration and Mental Stress
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the possibility of combining the concepts of candles and fractals to further enhance their relaxation and concentration effects. In the experiment, 30 participants performed the numeric addition task, followed by a rest task and then an addition task again. The three conditions of the resting task included a patterned and pattern-less candle holders and quiet resting condition without light (Control). Biometric measurements taken during the experiment, questionnaires administered before and after the experiment, and performance on the numerical addition task were used as evaluation indices. The results suggested that candle gazing significantly improved the concentration of the participants. In addition, the combination of candles and fractals caused more relaxation than the combination of candles alone.
