Open-source Python routines for the analysis of personalized light exposure data
Summary:
This paper introduces the pyLight module, an open-source Python module for the analysis of personalized light exposure data from wearable light loggers and dosimeters, and demonstrates its use in three examples.
Categories
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the design and use of the pyLight module, a tool for analyzing light exposure data from wearable devices.
- Alertness and performance: The paper mentions that light exposure affects human alertness and mood, which are factors in overall performance.
- Hormone regulation: The paper discusses how light exposure affects the production of the hormone melatonin.
