Ambulatory circadian monitoring.

<p>Left panel: nine-day averaged recording for (A) wrist temperature, (B) wrist acceleration, and (C) light exposure, from 15 subjects. Right panel: averaged mean waveforms (n = 15) for (D) wrist temperature, (E) wrist acceleration, and (F) light exposure. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM.</p

Parameters assessed for PLR.

<p>1: Minimum diameter, expressed as percentage constriction; 2: Area Under the Curve from 0 to 60 seconds of light exposure (AUC₆₀, orange); 3: Area Under the Curve from 240 to 300 seconds of light exposure (AUC₂₄₀, in red); 4: Area Under the Curve from light offset to the end of the recording (from 300 to 360 seconds of recording) (AUC₃₀₀, blue); 5: Percentage pupil constriction. Each arrow indicates, from left to right, TL5, TL10, TL15, TL20, TL30, TL60 and TL120, respectively, thus the percentage of pupil constriction at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 and 120 seconds after light onset.; 6: Time from light onset to the minimum pupil diameter reached during pupil constriction.</p

Macroarrays according to high and low cp-PLR and CSI parameters.

<p>Graphic matrix for subjects (n = 15) sorted by (A) CSI (circadian status index) and (B) by cp-PLR (circadian photoreception PLR). Colour scale corresponds to the relative magnitude for each variable and participant: reddish colours indicate lower scores for both CSI (worse circadian system status) and PLR parameters (less constriction) with those wavelengths in the circadian range (460-490nm). For details on the cp-PLR and CSI indexes calculation see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0162476#sec002" target="_blank">Materials and Methods</a>. The variables included in the macroarrays are wrist temperature (WT), wrist acceleration (WA) and light exposure (L) from the circadian analysis and normalized minimum pupil diameter expressed as pupil constriction and AUC₂₄₀. M5, the mid-point time of the five consecutive hours with the highest values; VM5, value for M5; L5, the mid-point time of the five consecutive hours with the lowest values; VL5, value for L5; HO, Horne-Östberg Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire score; PSQI, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; Min, minimum pupil diameter (expressed as pupil constriction); AUC₂₄₀, Area Under the Curve during the last minute (240 seconds) of light exposure. See <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0162476#sec002" target="_blank">Materials and Methods</a> for the calculation details.</p

Averaged pupil recordings under the different lights tested (n = 15).

<p>Averaged pupil recordings under (A) 420, 440, 460, 480, 500 nm and (B) 430, 450, 470 and 490 nm lights. Grey areas represent darkness. On the top, light onset and offset are indicated. Metrics (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0162476#pone.0162476.g002" target="_blank">Fig 2</a>) are also indicated here. TL: Each arrow indicates, from left to right, TL5, TL10, TL15, TL20, TL30, TL60 and TL120, respectively, and the percent baseline pupil diameter at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 and 120 seconds after light onset. AUC₆₀ (Area Under the Curve from 0 to 60 seconds of light exposure), AUC₂₄₀ (Area Under the Curve from 240 to 300 seconds of light exposure) and AUC₃₀₀ (Area Under the Curve from 300 to 360 seconds of recording, after light offset in darkness) are indicated in Fig 4A.</p
