Using the Post-illumination pupil response (PIPR), Delainey Wescott neil roecklein and colleagues have been able to look at responses to light on people with and without #SeasonalAffectiveDisorder and found differences to pupil responsivity

I just passed an older man walking his dog in my neighborhood. He was emphatically waving at a house. As I passed I realized that he was waving to the dog in the window. That might have been the most wholesome thing I’ve seen. #dogshavefeelingstoo #friendship
