The California Lighting Technology Center at UC Davis has received a new grant to establish “The Color Lab” in collaboration with the Center for Mind and Brain. The project’s goal is to explore the impact of discrete color spectra on stress, mind, and alertness.

The Color Laboratory will be available to all UC Davis researchers and partners interested in studying the interactions between discrete spectra and humans. Partners from The Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis and the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences are already collaborating with the team on the circadian implications of discrete spectra via ongoing efforts with the Davis circadian protocol in hospital design.

This research is supported by Toyota-Boshoku America.
