Summary
This paper presents an automated ocular photosensitivity analyzer designed to quantify visual photosensitivity thresholds, with relevance to understanding how ipRGCs connect to brain regions including the thalamus and trigeminal afferents. Such instrumentation could inform lighting design for photosensitive populations and help clinicians assess individual light sensitivity in healthcare and therapeutic settings.
