Beyond Lux: Methods for Species and Photoreceptor-Specific Quantification of Ambient Light for Mammals biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

How should you measure light to predict its appearance to non-human mammals and what constitutes healthy lighting for animal husbandry? Here’s what we agreed when we met in Manchester earlier this year to discuss preprints.org/manuscript/202…

Spectrawear (our open-source wearable a-opic light dosimeter) has been in action to reveal associations between personal light exposure and subjective daytime sleepiness + the timing of night-time sleep in everyday life pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
