Light Exposure and Cognitive Function in Classrooms
This study is looking at how light exposure affects thinking skills (cognitive function) in healthy college students. Researchers want to see if wearing special light-emitting glasses, called AYO light emitting glasses, for 20 minutes can improve attention. You might be able to join if you are an undergraduate student at Michigan State University, 18 or older, and generally healthy without light sensitivity. You should also have a regular bedtime between 9:30 pm and 2:00 am most nights, and be willing to track your fatigue and participate in thinking tests. The study is trying to find out if these glasses can boost cognitive function compared to wearing placebo glasses or no glasses at all. The study plans to enroll 300 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with 300 planned participants, comparing the effects of two types of light-emitting glasses and no glasses on cognitive function.
- What's involved
- You would wear light-emitting glasses for 20 minutes in a single session and participate in cognitive testing once a week for three weeks. You would also measure and report your fatigue levels.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your attention will be assessed over three weeks, with one test per week.

What this trial measures
- Assessment of attention3 weeks. One test per week
To measure the impact of the intervention on attention, for each student we will measure the time it takes for the student to complete the provided test, and the number of errors in the test. Each student will completed the test, before and after the intervention, and the change in test score (time and errors) calculated.
