Effect of color temperature on melatonin production for illumination of working environments.

Unlabelled: We studied the influence of correlated color temperature (CCT) of 7 polychromatic white light illuminations (1600 K-14,000 K, 200 lx) in two experiments. Visual performance was tested in 17 students (8 men) during daytime. Visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and sleepiness did not vary with illuminations but polychromatic white light of <2000 K impaired color discrimination.

Musical expertise is related to altered functional connectivity during audiovisual integration.

The present study investigated the cortical large-scale functional network underpinning audiovisual integration via magnetoencephalographic recordings. The reorganization of this network related to long-term musical training was investigated by comparing musicians to nonmusicians. Connectivity was calculated on the basis of the estimated mutual information of the sources' activity, and the corresponding networks were statistically compared.
