Summary
This paper investigates the role of melanopsin ganglion cells in the human eye, focusing on their contribution to visual perception and decision making.
Categories
Eye health: The paper explores the function of melanopsin ganglion cells in the human eye, particularly their role in brightness perception and decision-making processes.
Cognitive function and memory: The study examines how melanopsin activation influences cognition and decision-making, including visual detection and discrimination tasks.
Lighting Design Considerations: The research suggests that understanding melanopsin's enhancement of cone-mediated brightness perception could have implications for the development of energy-efficient artificial light sources.
