Summary
The paper investigates the impact of exposure to cool (blue) light on alertness, performance and EEG brain waves, suggesting that exposure to cool light may enhance alertness and performance relative to warm light.
Categories
Alertness and performance: The paper investigates the impact of exposure to cool (blue) light on alertness and performance, suggesting that exposure to cool light may enhance these factors.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper measures alertness and performance through tasks related to memory and cognitive function, suggesting that exposure to cool light may enhance these abilities.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper investigates the impact of different light settings (cool blue light vs. warm orange light) on human alertness and performance, providing insights that could be relevant to lighting design considerations.
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of Intrinsically photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells (IpRGCs) in detecting light and influencing physiological functions of the brain, which is relevant to eye health.
