Summary
This paper discusses the effects of light on cognitive responses, focusing on the role of ipRGC photoreceptor cells and their influence on the circadian rhythm and cognitive processes, and how this knowledge can be applied in lighting design.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how light, particularly the ipRGC photoreceptor cells, influences cognitive processes such as attention, inhibitory control and working memory.
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how light can manipulate physiological arousal, neural activity, hormone production, and subjective alertness of human beings.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses how the current knowledge on the effects of light on cognitive responses can be applied in lighting design, particularly in the human centric lighting approach.
Well-being: The paper discusses how manipulating lighting conditions can improve the well-being of human beings.
