Abstract

The article discusses a study examining the induction of thermoregulatory-like cardiovascular responses on visual information without thermal energy that can disturb human homeostasis. It mentions that cardiovascular indices for different participants were recorded after they watched video images which evoked hot or cold impressions in them. It concludes that visual information without any thermal energy can affect physiological thermoregulatory systems and suggests avoiding such environments.
