Abstract

Very preterm infants (VPI) are exposed to atypical visual stimuli in the hospital. Their visual system was shown to be mature enough to allow them to physiologically react to ecological visual stimuli in the NICU from 28 weeks post-menstrual age (PMA). These stimuli have also been shown to induce sleep disruption. However, little is known about their behavioural responses to light level changes of different amplitudes, encountered in the hospital environment.
