A method and apparatus for stimulating neural activity in the brain of a user of an apparatus with a display screen by causing at least one portion of the display screen to flicker in a controlled manner and utilizing the apparatus to measure an effect on a user exposed to the flicker for a time.

A light emission apparatus emits light that activates a human body. The light emission apparatus includes a light-emitting module that emits light from a light emission region. The light emission region includes a first light emission region that emits light having a first luminance and a second light emission region that emits light having a second luminance greater than the first luminance. The second light emission region is a different region than the first light emission region. The first light emission region is located in a central region of the light emission region. The second light emission region is peripheral to the first light emission region. The light having the first luminance emitted from the first light emission region has a predetermined wavelength that activates the human body.

The present disclosure describes a manual or automated face plunge comprising a water reservoir, and optionally a chilling apparatus comprising one or more thermoelectric coolers to chill the water, and a controller to electronically control the chilling apparatus. The disclosure further describes methods for chilling the face, triggering the central nervous system, promoting human health, promoting human beauty, and promoting aesthetic benefits to a human in need thereof, comprising immersing the face of the person in the face plunge in accordance to various immersion regimens. In various aspects, the face plunge comprises ice-cold water for the facial immersions.

An implantable device for optically stimulating a brain of a human being or animal, including: a multi-channel biocompatible catheter including a plurality of channels extending substantially parallel to each other relative to a longitudinal axis of the multi-channel catheter; a light guide, extending into one channel, for optically stimulating the brain, the multi-channel catheter acting as a sheath totally enveloping the light guide; a functional element, extending into another channel, to measure light injected into a surrounding medium at a distal end of the light guide and/or an element acting on the shape of the multi-channel catheter.

A system for facilitating stress-adaptive virtual experience station includes a virtual display system and camera system coupled to a kinematic rig. An array of transducers coupled to the station interact with a user based on a feedback signal, configured for user health treatments, audio effects, or computational imaging techniques.

An apparatus for inhibiting melatonin synthesis in a horse comprises a blinker having an internal surface of which at least a part is diffusing. A source of light is positioned for direction into the horse's eye by the diffusing-surface. The light source and diffusing surface are configured such that the light directed into the horse's eye is blue.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for illumination, including wide area lighting applications. In one embodiment, a method of illumination comprises: comparing metamers at a known and similar CCT with at least one metamer having a higher M/P or S/P ratio; selecting at least one of said metamers for improved perceived brightness; evaluating the selected metamer(s) for desired CCT and acceptable CRI; manufacturing a lighting apparatus which emits light of a given CCT having increased melanopic content compared to one or more extant metameric variations of the same or similar CCT; wherein said light has an acceptable CRI. The method can be applied in various apparatus and systems. In one example, the methods, apparatus, and systems can be used to illuminate a wide area target area with increased perceived brightness compared to typical similar lighting. In some cases, this allows energy savings and/or less lighting sources or fixtures than typical lighting.

The newly discovered retinal ganglion cell photoreceptor melanopsin absent in the central fovea of the eye but distributed throughout the remaining human retinal body provides both non-visual biological/physiological input inducing circadian entrainment, and visual input affecting perceived brightness; this perceived brightness is not the object brightness commonly associated with luminance and perceived color of an object in central view, but the perception of brightness of a whole space or task background. Discussed are improvements to circadian lighting systems based on melanopsin stimulation whereby ambient and/or device background lighting may be temporally tuned over a range of prescribed color temperatures from a first subset of lighting having a higher melanopic content to a second subset of lighting having a lower melanopic content or vice versa in accordance with a desired circadian cycle, and in a manner where net light output is of a constant perceived brightness and color throughout temporal tuning.
