Your nose gets colder when you're stressed. These thermal images show the change

The article discusses a study that examined the changes in facial temperature due to stress. Psychologists at the University of Sussex subjected a BBC reporter to a thermal camera stress test, where they observed the reporter's nose temperature decreasing during stressful situations. The study used thermal imaging to capture the reporter's facial temperature changes in real-time as they underwent various tasks designed to induce stress. The results showed that the reporter's nose temperature dropped significantly when they were under stress, indicating that this physiological response could be used as an objective measure of stress levels. The article highlights the potential applications of this technology, such as in the diagnosis and management of stress-related disorders. The findings suggest that thermal imaging could provide a non-invasive and reliable way to monitor stress levels, which could have implications for various fields, including mental health, workplace well-being, and sports performance.
