In addition to these technical journal references the following reference provides a less technical review of the new findings and their implications.


9. Berman ,S.M. 2000:

Two other publications confirming some of the earlier Berman et al results:


10. Navvab, M. (2001),
A comparison of visual performance under high and low color temperature fluorescent lamps. J.IES, Vol. 30, No.2 pp.170-175.


11. Navvab, M. (2002),
Visual acuity depends on the color temperature of the surround lighting. J.IES Vol.31,No.1, pp. 70-84.
For an earlier study on the scotopic response of pupil size see


12. Bouma, H. 1962.
