Abstract
The prediction method of melatonin suppression values was based on previous studies related to melatonin suppression and pupil constriction. Estimated values that considered pupil constriction were larger than the actual suppression values. We focused on the pupil constriction and its correction factor to interpret the action spectrum for the properties of the melatonin suppression model. When the correction factor was used to modify the model, actual suppression values were almost completely predictable. These factors suggest that it might be possible to explain the indescribable results.
