Summary
This paper discusses the visual and non-visual effects of light, focusing on the perception of light in the eye and the interaction of image-forming and non-image-forming photoreceptors in the eye.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the structure and function of the eye, particularly the role of rod and cone cells in visual and non-visual processes.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of light in non-visual processes in the body, such as alertness and performance.
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses the effects of light on alertness and performance, including the suppression of melatonin, circadian phase shifts, and increases in body temperature and heart rate frequency.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the development of dynamic lighting, which mimics the dynamics of daylight by varying in color and intensity.
