Summary
This study investigates the non-image forming effects of illuminance level on physiological arousal and task performance, finding that illuminance level impacts heart rate and skin conductance level, but not systolic blood pressure, and that physiology and performance seem to be affected independently.
Categories
Alertness and performance: The paper investigates the effects of illuminance level on alertness and task performance, finding that higher illuminance levels can improve performance on difficult tasks.
Cognitive function and memory: The study uses tasks that test cognitive function and memory to measure the effects of illuminance level, finding that higher illuminance levels can improve performance on difficult tasks.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper explores the effects of different illuminance levels, providing insights that could be useful in lighting design.
