This is indicator for Androids health and emotions for deviants.
Emotions:

It lights up in blue, yellow and red according to the amount, strain, and quality of an android's mental processing, physical condition, and emotions (in deviants). It will always indicate the worse condition of both mental and physical aspects. It also functions as an identifier of androidhood.
The color changes immediately according to their conditions, although it is rarely seen changing gradually along the LED ring.
In case the LED is flickering that indicates rapid or unbalanced activity, while a constant LED indicates a stable level of activity.
