Society for Light Treatment and Biological Rhythms, 30th Annual Meeting, Groningen (The Netherlands), June 21–24, 2018
Summary:
This paper discusses the effects of light on alertness and cognitive function, as well as its potential as a treatment for bipolar depression.
Categories
- Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how blue-enriched light can promote alertness in humans and rodents.
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how light can affect cognitive performance, with a focus on the effects of light on working memory.
- Depression: The paper discusses the potential of light therapy as a treatment for bipolar depression.
- Phototherapy: The paper discusses the use of light therapy as a treatment for bipolar depression.
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the design of lighting controls for office environments to optimize alertness and cognitive performance.
