- Non-image forming effects of illuminance and correlated color temperature of office light on alertness, mood, and performance across cognitive domains (2019, background): “Previous studies on monochromatic light have established that the NIF e ff ect of light on alertness is most pronounced at short wavelengths (i.e., about 460 – 480 nm) [10,17,29,40].”
- Evening exposure to a light-emitting diodes (LED)-backlit computer screen affects circadian physiology and cognitive performance. (2011, background): “There is ample evidence that a novel, short-wavelength-sensitive photoreceptor system is primarily responsible for a variety of nonvisual light responses, in particular, resetting the timing of the circadian pacemaker, suppressing melatonin production, improving alertness and performance, and elevat”

(2011, background): “Repercussions on human physiology include increased heart rate and core body temperature after blue (460 nm) but not after green light (550 nm) of equal photon density when administered in the evening [9], together with decreased electroencephalographic (EEG) slow-wave activity in the first cycle of”
