Abstract :This paper aims at looking at the effects of light on cognitive responses through elaborating the current knowledge on the ipRGC photoreceptor cells and how they influence the circadian rhythm as well as cognitive processes of the body throughout the day. Experimental studies in the literature are discussed and the lighting design approach corresponding to the non-visual effects of light on human cognition, the human centric lighting approach is explained.
