Unveiling the luminescence of human brain
Turns out, our brains actually give off a super faint glow while processing energy—something scientists at Algoma University just discovered.
This light, called ultra-weak photon emission (UPE), happens in brain areas linked to seeing and nonverbal communication.
UPEs could help diagnose brain issues
This finding could be a game-changer for diagnosing brain issues like tumors or mild injuries.
Researcher Hayley Casey says UPEs might help spot problems without needing invasive scans like MRIs or PETs, opening the door to safer and easier ways to check on our brains.
