Uncovering personalized glucose responses and circadian rhythms from multiple wearable biosensors with Bayesian dynamical modeling

Felix Naef, Nicholas Edward Phillips

Wearable biosensors and smartphone applications can measure physiological variables over multiple days in free-living conditions. We measure food and drink ingestion, glucose dynamics, physical activity, heart rate (HR), and heart rate variability (HRV) in ...

Optimized office lighting advances melatonin phase and peripheral heat loss prior bedtime

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Mirjam Münch, Marta Benedetti, Lenka Maierova

Improving indoor lighting conditions at the workplace has the potential to support proper circadian entrainment of hormonal rhythms, sleep, and well-being. We tested the effects of optimized dynamic daylight and electric lighting on circadian phase of mela ...

Enhancing visual motion discrimination by desynchronizing bifocal oscillatory activity

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Estelle Emeline Raffin, Roberto Felipe Salamanca Giron, Sarah Bernardina Zandvliet, Martin Seeber

Visual motion discrimination involves reciprocal interactions in the alpha band between the primary visual cortex (V1) and mediotemporal areas (V5/MT). We investigated whether modulating alpha phase synchronization using individualized multisite transcrani ...

What is the 'spectral diet' of humans?

Marilyne Andersen, Forrest Simon Webler, Manuel Spitschan

Our visual perception of the world - seeing form and colour or navigating the environment - depends on the interaction of light and matter in the environment. Light also has a more fundamental role in regulating rhythms in physiology and behaviour, as well ...

Strengthening of a 19th-century roadway metallic bridge using nonprestressed bonded and prestressed unbonded CFRP plates

Ardalan Hosseini, Masoud Motavalli, Elyas Ghafoori

This paper summarizes the strengthening of a historically significant 122-year-old roadway metallic bridge using nonprestressed bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. Prior to the bridge strengthening, sets of laboratory tests were conducted ...

Bright Light Delights: Effects of Daily Light Exposure on Emotions, Rest-activity Cycles, Sleep and Melatonin Secretion in Severely Demented Patients

Jean-Louis Scartezzini

Objective: We tested whether the effects of a dynamic lighting system are superior to conventional lighting on emotions, agitation behaviour, quality of life, melatonin secretion and circadian restactivity cycles in severely demented patients. As a compari ...

The NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase SIRT2 attenuates oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction and improves insulin sensitivity in hepatocytes

Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva

Insulin resistance is a major predictor of the development of metabolic disorders. Sirtuins (SIRTs) have emerged as potential targets that can be manipulated to counteract age-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes. SIRT2 has been recently shown to ex ...

Diurnal variations of hormonal secretion, alertness and cognition in extreme chronotypes under different lighting conditions

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Mirjam Münch, Apiparn Borisuit, Lenka Maierova

Circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior are modulated by external factors such as light or temperature. We studied whether self-selected office lighting during the habitual waking period had a different impact on alertness, cognitive performance and h ...
