摘要
Light modulates human brain function through its effect on circadian rhythms, which are related to several human behavioral and physiological processes. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a noninvasive optical neuroimaging technique used for recording brain activation during task performance. This study aimed to investigate the effects of light on cognitive function, particularly in the prefrontal cortex using fNIRS. The effect of light on cognitive modulation was analyzed using the Stroop task, which was performed on 30 participants under three different light conditions (color temperature 4500 K, 2500 K, and none). The behavioral results indicated that light conditions can easily and effectively modulate the performance of tasks based on the feedback, including the response time and accuracy. fNIRS showed hemodynamic changes in the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortices, and the activated brain regions varied under different light conditions. Moreover, light may be regarded as a safe, effective, inexpensive, and accessible tool for modulating human cognitive function.
