Summary
This work investigates how dynamic light transitions are processed through the non-image-forming visual pathway—from ipRGCs via the retinohypothalamic tract to the suprachiasmatic nucleus—and how these transitions shape neurobehavioral responses. The findings have practical implications for designing dynamic lighting systems in workplaces and healthcare environments that leverage circadian photobiology to support alertness and wellbeing.
