Melanopsin Vision

Sensation and Perception Through Intrinsically Photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This Element integrates new knowledge and perspectives from visual neuroscience, psychology, sleep science and architecture to discuss how melanopsin-mediated ipRGC functions can be measured and their circuits manipulated. It reveals contemporary and emerging lighting technologies as powerful tools to set mind, brain and behaviour.
