Fascinating new neuroscience study shows the brain emits light through the skull

Scientists found that the human brain emits faint light that passes through the skull and changes during different mental states, suggesting it might be possible to monitor brain activity using light instead of electricity or magnetism.

A new study published in iScience provides evidence that the human brain emits extremely faint light signals that not only pass through the skull but also appear to change in response to mental states. Researchers found that these ultraweak light emissions could be recorded in complete darkness, and they appeared to shift in response to simple tasks like closing the eyes or listening to sound.

and another quote from the article I feel is worth mentioning:

All living tissues release tiny amounts of light during normal metabolism, known as ultraweak photon emissions. This happens when excited molecules return to a lower energy state and emit a photon in the process. The light is incredibly faint—about a million times weaker than what we can see—and falls within the visible to near-infrared range. In contrast to bioluminescence, which involves specific chemical reactions like those used by fireflies, ultraweak photon emissions happen constantly in all tissues, without special enzymes or glowing compounds.

It does make you wonder, if we are only possible due to supernova, we also have faint traces of Light itself as part of our existence, emanating at all levels from within, just as the supernova did...

On a more grounded note, the article states how this can possibly be used to examine the brain in more detail, which is also interesting.

That's our HDD/SSD activity lights. Mine flickers a lot because I'm running old and slow hardware

Very interesting article though. I'd like to see some shots from an actual test recording, if that were possible. I would assume it's just a byproduct of low-level biology and doesn't serve any evolutionary purpose too.

I wonder if eidetic memory or photographic memory people are emitting more light? Would be interesting to see. Ultra Paladin's, in full gear = confirmed

Cast Holy Light! (and technically they usually do, cause they generally end up being the biggest contributors to society, aka genius types)

Life is actually a game and Paladin's are awesome? Who knew


I AM LIGHT INCARNATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Got a loicence for emissions in that spectrum, mate?"

With great inventions always comes some great abuse.

But the idea of glowing waves/particles isn't outlandish. One should consider this the primary language or something like that.

Also... can we affect things by bombarding them with the same light but of higher volume?

Pretty fascinating discovery, hard for my conspiratorial mindset not to run wild with this one. Maybe as learn we learn more about neural coding and how information is stored in processed in the brain we can reconstruct people's thoughts and memories with light.

Is this really something new?

Help me to square the circle. The brain works on a process by which electrical potential energy is controlled. IE, neurons are constantly absorbing energy from metabolism. This allows for them to have materials in a state of higher potential energy...which is expended to cause that neuron to work. Basic black body radiation states that when something at a higher state of energy goes to a ground state it emits potential energy...which depending upon the properties of matter can be anything from a visible burst of light (think the sun), to some other force (think transferred kinetic energy).

That is basic black body radiation. You are mostly empty space...so just as an EEG can read the magnetism induced by electrical potential transfer, you should be able to record the random emission of photons...though your sensor would likely have to be much more sensitive given the random direction of emission.


Is that not exactly what they imply in that linked article...which sites this is like an EEG? Am I missing something? Heck, as I'm reading the end of the article they even caution to state that the correspondence is only preliminary...so aren't we more leaking light than actively space paladins? I mean, the joke here about wearing a metal sieve kinda writes itself...
