Center for Study and Treatment of Circadian Rhythms, Douglas Hospital Research Center, Verdun, Quebec, Canada
Aviat Space Environ Med 75:A158-60. 2004..The development of better tools to measure retinal exposure to light throughout the 24-h day is required to adequately test modeling predictions under field conditions...
