Summary
This paper simulates cortical activity evoked by artificial retinal implants, with reference to ipRGC photoreceptor biology and their characteristically slow hyperpolarization response to light stimuli. Understanding ipRGC response dynamics has implications for designing light-based interventions that appropriately engage the non-image-forming visual system for circadian entrainment.
