New Evidence on How our Eyes use Light to Manage our Body Clock - University of Surrey Groundbreaking Study Results
A new study published this week shows for the first time that the human eye is sensitive to short wave length visible light and transmits information to the body clock in a way that may make it possible to manipulate waking and sleeping rhythms. This new data, gained from a study carried out at the University of Surrey, might enable this type of... view more... (2001-08-20)
