Abstract
Aspects of the invention provide systems and methods for controllably adjusting the circadian pacemaker cycle of a subject using light (or other stimulus) through application of model-based predictive control techniques. This approach allows the use of closed-loop feedback to compensate for modeling errors, unknown initial conditions and disturbances. It also allows an optimal level of light (or other stimulus) to be generated based on minimization of a cost function. The cost function may incorporate a term associated with tracking errors and a term associated with the amount of light used. The tracking function may be minimized subject to one or more constraints which may include a minimum and maximum amount of light (or other stimulus).
