Summary
This paper discusses the concept of 'biodynamic' lighting, which aims to support the health of both human and non-human life forms by considering phototropism, phototaxis, photoperiodism and circadian entrainment in lighting design.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the concept of 'biodynamic' lighting, which considers the needs of both human and non-human life forms, and provides a design process for inclusive lighting that embodies the spirit of 'life-centric' lighting.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the impact of light on circadian rhythms, which are crucial for cognitive function and memory in both humans and animals.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the impact of light on sleep patterns and circadian rhythms, which can affect sleep quality and potentially contribute to insomnia.
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how light can affect alertness and performance in both humans and animals through its impact on circadian rhythms.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of light in hormone regulation, particularly through its impact on circadian rhythms.
