Summary
This paper introduces the pyLight module, an open-source Python module for the analysis of personalized light exposure data from wearable light loggers and dosimeters, and demonstrates its use in three examples.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the design and use of the pyLight module, a tool for analyzing data from wearable light loggers and dosimeters, which are important considerations in lighting design.
Alertness and performance: The paper mentions that light exposure affects human alertness and mood, which are aspects of performance.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how light exposure affects human physiology and behavior, including cognitive function.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses how light exposure affects the production of the hormone melatonin.
