Abstract
The ONRS-2.0 is a physical, buildable Programmable Spectral Lighting and Sensing Array. It generates precise, time-varying light spectra to support circadian rhythm research (dementia care) and utilizes multi-wavelength optical scattering to detect early-stage particulate matter (wildfire smoke).
This system replaces the conceptual "Optical-Neural Resonance" with measurable photobiological and photometric engineering:
-
"Optical-Neural Routing" → Dynamic control of Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) and Spectral Power Distribution (SPD) to influence melatonin suppression and alertness.
-
"Optical Drift" → Thermal stabilization of LED output and real-time feedback calibration using onboard spectral sensors.
-
"Hazard-Avoidance Envelopes" → Dual-wavelength smoke detection algorithms that distinguish between steam, dust, and combustion particles.
This document provides the exact BOM, schematics, and control logic to build a system that rivals clinical research lighting testbeds at a fraction of the cost.
