Configurable Multimodal Therapeutic System for Promoting Emotional Relaxation

This paper presents a study on a configurable multimodal therapeutic system designed to analyze the impact of various therapeutic environments on participants' health and determine more effective approaches. The system aims to relax individuals and gradually enhance their well-being by manipulating the surrounding lighting conditions. The experiment involved 22 adults participating in four rounds, each exploring the effects of colored light, flickering frequencies, feedback regulation, and multimodal stimuli. EEG parameters were measured, and pre- and post-assessment stress surveys were conducted to understand the effects of different therapeutic environments on participants' stress levels. Statistical analysis using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-tests revealed significant results. Blue light, non-flickering light, stimuli with feedback regulation, and multimodal stimuli were found to be more effective in promoting emotional relaxation. The findings emphasize the importance of considering different therapeutic environments and highlight the potential benefits of a configurable multimodal therapeutic system for identifying effective approaches.
