Summary
The paper discusses the impact of blue light on alertness and cognitive performance, particularly in older adults, and suggests that exposure to blue light could help maintain cognitive function in this population.
Categories
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how blue light can affect alertness and cognitive performance, particularly in older adults.
Aging: The paper focuses on the impact of blue light on alertness and cognitive performance in older adults, suggesting that blue light could help maintain cognitive function as people age.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper suggests that incorporating blue light into environments where older adults live and work could help maintain their cognitive function and alertness.
