Summary
This paper discusses the development of a unified framework for evaluating the non-visual spectral effectiveness of light for human health, providing a common language for describing the non-visual spectral effectiveness of light and offering a new visualization tool for exploring this framework.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the development of a unified framework for evaluating the non-visual spectral effectiveness of light, which is relevant to lighting design considerations.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper mentions that light can enhance alerting effects and cognitive function, making it relevant to the category of cognitive function and memory.
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how light can enhance alerting effects, making it relevant to the category of alertness and performance.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses how light can suppress melatonin and reset the circadian clock, making it relevant to the category of hormone regulation.
