There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Robert Davis PNNLRobert Davis, a senior staff lighting engineer and the director of the Solid State Lighting Program at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, will be giving a talk on the evolving landscape of lighting research and the intersection of light and health.
LED lighting systems provide unprecedented opportunities for controlling the intensity, spectrum, distribution, and timing of light in the built environment.
The rapid emergence of this technology has occurred in parallel with new scientific discoveries about certain biological effects of light, including light’s apparent influence on circadian, affective, and cognitive responses.
So while our ability to control the lighting stimulus has expanded, so has our understanding of how light itself may control our responses.
This seminar explores these connections and the implications for the design of health care environments.
