Summary
This paper discusses the role of light in human vision, focusing on the different types of photoreceptors in the eye and how they respond to different light levels and wavelengths.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the structure and function of the eye, specifically the role of photoreceptors in detecting light and contributing to vision.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses how different light levels and wavelengths can affect human vision, which is relevant to the design of lighting systems.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in controlling the release of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep.
