Scientists Meet Scientists –TUM-IAS Wednesday Coffee Talk by Prof. Manuel Spitschan: "Illuminate your clock: How light exposure impacts your health and well-being"
Events, WCT |
On May 11, 2022, Prof. Manuel Spitschan (Chronobiology and Health, TUM / Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics) will talk about "Illuminate your clock: How light exposure impacts your health and well-being."
Abstract: Human physiology and behaviour are organised at the 24-hour scale through our biological clock. Light exposure influences this clock through a pathway connecting our eyes to the central circadian pacemaker. Light at the wrong time can negatively impact our circadian rhythms and sleep, but light exposure can also have a strong positive influence by making us more alert. In this talk, Manuel Spitschan will discuss recent findings on how interdisciplinary research can help us use light optimally.
