Data were collected by Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and are further processed and analysed by the Translational Sensory & Circadian Neuroscience Unit (TSCN). A detailed description of the experiment is available in Guidolin et al., 2024. This repository is transitioning towards a FAIR and fully human and machine-readable light exposure dataset, based on a community-based and peer-reviewed Metadata descriptor. As part of this transition, files will be converted from semi-rectangular data, to fully tabular data. Further, metadata will be added and converted from XLSX to JSON. For full traceability, all versions will be archived in Zenodo and are accessible through their own persistent identifier (DOI). ### Citation APA reference: > Akuffo, K. O., Agbeshie, G.
