Summary
This paper discusses the response of the human visual cortex to spectral modulations that separately target the postreceptoral cone channels and melanopsin, finding that melanopsin flicker did not elicit a cortical response exceeding that of the control modulations.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the response of the human visual cortex to spectral modulations, which is relevant to cognitive function and memory as it relates to the processing of visual information.
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin-containing retinal ganglion cells in the human eye, making it relevant to eye health.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the use of spectral modulations to target specific photoreceptors in the eye, which could have implications for lighting design considerations.
