Combined effects of noise and air temperature on human neurophysiological responses in a simulated indoor environment.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the combined effects of noise and air temperature on the human body neurophysiological responses. This study was conducted on 35 male students, who were exposed to four different air temperatures (18 °C, 22 °C, 26 °C, and 30 °C) and two noise levels (55 dBA and 75 dBA) in eight sessions in a simulated indoor environment. The mean values of accuracy and time of response to stimuli in N-back test as well as neurophysiological responses were measured.

The impact of indoor air temperature on the executive functions of human brain and the physiological responses of body.

This study aimed to investigate the effect size (ES) of air temperature on the executive functions of human brain and body physiological responses. In this empirical study, the participants included 35 male students who were exposed to 4 air temperature conditions of 18°C, 22°C, 26°C and 30°C in 4 separate sessions in an air conditioning chamber. The participants were simultaneously asked to take part in the N-back test.
