| Abstract | This experiment will help us understand how changes in body temperature affect our central nervous system and accordingly, one can forecast how to optimize your capabilities depending on the environmental temperature and around you and its effects. Also, body temperature is an extremely important factor for health and well-being. For most things, human beings perform best at normal body temperature. Lastly, physical activity done in this experiment to change the body’s normal temperature will be observed to see how that affects mental processing with short term memory and reaction time. |
