Phantom Boarder Relates to Experimentally‐Induced Presence Hallucinations in Parkinson's Disease

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Jevita Potheegadoo

Phantom boarder (PB) is the sensation that someone uninvited is in the patient's home despite evidence to the contrary. It is mostly reported by patients with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies or Parkinson's ...

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 ...

Preliminary evidence that daily light exposure enhances the antibody response to influenza vaccination in patients with dementia

Jean-Louis Scartezzini

Enhancing lighting conditions in institutions for individuals with dementia improves their sleep, circadian rhythms and well-being. Here, we report first findings that exposure to brighter light during daytime may support the immune response to the annual ...

A simulation tool for building and lighting design considering ipRGC-influenced light responses

Marilyne Andersen, Clotilde Marie A Pierson, Myrta Gkaintatzi-Masouti

The ipRGCs in the human eye mediate several effects on people, such as alertness and circadian rhythms. The spectral, temporal and spatial characteristics of light influence the magnitude of these effects. To facilitate the anticipation of the ipRGC-influe ...

Small Obstacle in a Large Polar Flock

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

We show that arbitrarily large polar flocks are susceptible to the presence of a single small obstacle. In a wide region of parameter space, the obstacle triggers counterpropagating dense bands leading to reversals of the flow. In very large systems, these ...

Global brain dynamics under visual entrainment

David Pascucci, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

Cognitive and perceptual functions depend on the momentary dynamics of the brain. A typical approach to investigate these dynamics is through the so-called method of entrainment. In entrainment, a rhythmic stimulation (e.g., a periodic visual or auditory s ...

Type 2 diabetes disrupts circadian orchestration of lipid metabolism and membrane fluidity in human pancreatic islets

Jonathan Paz Montoya, Howard Riezman

Recent evidence suggests that circadian clocks ensure temporal orchestration of lipid homeostasis and play a role in pathophysiology of metabolic diseases in humans, including type 2 diabetes (T2D). Nevertheless, circadian regulation of lipid metabolism in ...

Putting Temperature into the Equation: Development and Validation of Algorithms to Distinguish Non-Wearing from Inactivity and Sleep in Wearable Sensors

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Sara Pagnamenta

Long-term monitoring of real-life physical activity (PA) using wearable devices is increasingly used in clinical and epidemiological studies. The quality of the recorded data is an important issue, as unreliable data may negatively affect the outcome measu ...

Integrating non-visual effects of light in the automated daylight-responsive control of blinds and electric lighting

Marta Benedetti

The use of daylight in buildings is important because it contributes to energy savings by reducing the use of electric lighting and space heating. It also impacts on biological functions and on well-being. Indeed, light not only allows vision, but has non- ...
