Summary
This paper applies nonlinear dynamical systems theory to model the human pupillary light reflex, building on the Longtin-Milton delay differential equation framework. While primarily theoretical, understanding the complex dynamics of pupillary responses has implications for interpreting pupillometry data used in circadian and alertness research.
