Results
Feet contact with oil-finished and uncoated wood had relaxing effects on psychological and physiological responses compared with marble. The relaxing effects of oil-finished wood and uncoated wood were similar. That is, they significantly increased subjective feelings of comfort and relaxation, improved mood states, and decreased oxy-Hb concentration in the left prefrontal cortex compared with marble.
