Summary
This paper discusses the creation of a device that can stimulate melanopsin in the human eye, which is a photoreceptor that mediates a variety of light-based, non-visual effects on human physiology.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the development of a device that can stimulate a specific photoreceptor in the human eye, melanopsin, which has a variety of effects on human physiology.
Lighting Design Considerations: The device discussed in the paper uses specific light sources and techniques to stimulate the melanopsin photoreceptor in the human eye.
