Abstract

Summary

The paper discusses how exposure to blue-enriched light can directly manipulate alertness in healthy volunteers, speeding response times to left hemifield visual stimuli, and potentially offering light-based interventions for right hemisphere disorders of spatial attention.

Alertness and performance: The paper explores how blue-enriched light can directly manipulate alertness in healthy volunteers, speeding response times to left hemifield visual stimuli.
Lighting Design Considerations: The study uses blue-enriched light as a tool to manipulate alertness and response times, suggesting potential design considerations for environments where alertness and quick response times are crucial.
Cognitive function and memory: The study's findings suggest that light can have a direct modulatory influence on the physiological substrates of spatial attention, a cognitive function.
