Learning Objective 2: Explain the importance of planning a lighting system that incorporates the knowledge gained from the experiment, and how specific types of lighting can provide a solution. Learning Objective 3: Understand the Limbic® Emotional Assessment tool that combines different methods commonly applied in neuroscience and psychophysiology to measure the bodily processes that accompany emotional responses to a determined stimulus or situation. Learning Objective 4: Learn about the experiment Test of Attentional Performance and how the psychometrical tool was used to assess the cognitive performance of employ- ees and how to interpret the findings of the experiment.
