Light and color have a profound impact on human emotions and the nervous system — especially for children on the autism spectrum. Because of increased sensory sensitivity, their mood, focus, and behavior can shift quickly depending on the intensity, color temperature, or even flicker of the surrounding light.

The importance of light therapy

Research shows that soft, evenly distributed lighting helps reduce anxiety, tension, and overstimulation while supporting creativity and focus.
For example, blue, green, and gentle warm hues help the child relax and feel safe, while flickering, buzzing, or harsh contrasting lights can cause stress and discomfort. A study (Light Therapy & Kids with Autism, 2021) found that low-intensity light therapy can reduce irritability and improve emotional balance in children with autism.

Intelligent lighting in the Neurocass system

The Neurocass chair features an adaptive chromatic lighting system that automatically adjusts to the child’s emotional state. Light color and intensity change in harmony with sound and deep pressure therapy, creating a unified multisensory environment that encourages calmness and a sense of safety.
Here, light becomes more than illumination — it becomes a language of emotion, gently guiding the nervous system toward balance.
The soft glow helps the child orient in space, accept gentle touch, reduce sensory overload, and support natural self-regulation.

Scientific foundation
 

• Smooth color transitions stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps the body relax.

• Studies show that light affects cortical activity, improving attention, coordination, and emotional regulation (Hardy et al., 2013).

• Children with ASD describe calm lighting as “soothing,” “safe,” and “comforting.”
   

The harmony of light, color and body awareness

Lighting in the Neurocass chair is not just functional — it is a therapeutic component of the environment. Subtle color tones help the child sense body boundaries, connect with inner feelings, and achieve emotional balance.
Light and color together act as a gentle guide toward calmness and self-awareness.
