Research questions

Research Question #1

Does the color of a room effect your sleep?
This question explores the human sleep, brain activity and the definition of color which is, "Color is light reflecting an object". If you notice a room's walls is usually painted white. Now if we painted it red, for example, would that stimulate our brain and give us less sleep. Or if we painted it blue, would it relax our brain and allow us to receive more sleep? This experiment could lead to an increase of sleep. Sleep incrassation leads to our brain being fresher and sharper thinking, which could increase grade results or the amount of work we get done at our jobs.

Research question #2

Can a human body feel an intrusion of space?
As you may have noticed, most people react when you invade their personal space. Approaching someone from behind, or leaning in close into their "bubble" can result in either them stepping away unconsciously or leaning away from you. This question explores the boundaries of this, can the human body actually "sense" when something is to close, or is this just a myth and we react after we see, hear or smell this object intruding.


Research question #3

Do different breeds of dogs respond differently according to smell, hearing or sight?
We've all read, seen or witnessed a dog smelling a human out, hearing a sound and leaping at it or merely seeing a loved one and jumping on them. This question explores the depths of these senses. German Shepard's use their noses more frequently then some dogs but are they quicker to respond if they hear a noise of a gun shot, smell a drug or see an intruder? I want to explore this with, at first, German Shepard's then after seeing the results of this, compare it to, say, a hunting dog such as a Spanish Pointer. Humans react mainly by sight, are different breeds of dogs any different?
