comment How much red/orange is needed to stimulate hunger?
ah, yes. i think advertising in particular is full of voodoo. marketing journals have some good stuff, though.

comment How much red/orange is needed to stimulate hunger?
agreed that the second study is only tangentially on topic, though you didn't say in your Q anything about red food vs red environment. not sure what you mean by 'its well known because everyone knows it'.

comment How much sleep is required to restore maximum cognitive functioning?
vote to close: aside from being self-help, this question cannot be answered adequately. 'required' amount of sleep will vary with the individual, and is certainly not a step function. also, what are 'peak levels' of brain functionality? if we broaden the criteria required for an answer, then the question is simply asking for a review of sleep studies on cognition.

comment Does the person's walking say anything about the person's cognition?
Alex I really appreciate your enthusiasm for this site, but I think you should consider putting some more effort into prior research before asking a question here. A search on google scholar for "gait cognition" turns up this article, and several others: apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/neu-202215.pdf

comment Cheapest way to measure arousal levels
I have changed the link to a device that is cheaper, but has a USB connection and monitors GSR, heart rate, and respiration rate. Again, I have not used the device.

comment Cheapest way to measure arousal levels
can you elaborate on why you need to connect it to a computer? the device has a digital readout. writing this down using pen and paper does not make it less accurate.
