Abstract
The emissions of biophotons have been considered a ubiquitous property of living systems and their components. We measured the “spontaneous” photon emissions from fixed whole and sectioned human brains within hyper-dark settings. Significant differences in photon counts were measured from different spatial planes. The flux densities were in the order of 2 × 10-12 W per m2. The right hemispheres but not the left hemispheres displayed more photon emissions whose spectral power density profiles exhibited a conspicuous amplitude peak between 7.9 and 8 Hz. Brains measured in the hyperdark (~10-12 W·m2) after removal from the typical lighting of the laboratory emitted more photons than those that had been maintained in the hyperdark for one week. The significant correlation between the numbers of photons emitted from the left hemisphere (but not the right) and global geomagnetic activity also exhibited energy equivalence between the photon flux densities and the geomagnetic shift within the cerebral volumes. These results indicate that what has been assumed to be fixed unresponsive human brain tissue still emits small numbers of photons that may be residuals from ambient light and can potentially interact with global geomagnetic activity. The medical implications for post-mortem intrinsic photonic information based upon the anisotropic microstructures within the hemispheres of the human cerebrum are discussed.
Highlights
The emissions of photons from living systems have been examined and verified quantitatively from multiple perspectives
We showed that spontaneous photon emissions increased near fixed whole brains and sections and that the power spectra of the amplitude modulations of these flux densities were not random and may reflect the capacity to retain photonic energies
The results of the measurements indicate that the human brain generates differential numbers of photons that may reveal some intrinsic structural capacity that remains after clinical death and following protracted fixation
Summary
The emissions of photons from living systems have been examined and verified quantitatively from multiple perspectives. Photon counts near living tissue that exceed background flux densities have been measured from bacteria [4], cells [5], hippocampal slices [6], and the brains of human subjects engaging in specific cognitions [7] [8]. This list is by no means exhaustive. The ubiquitous nature of photon emissions from likely multiple mechanisms [9] within the living system suggests they may be more directly involved with communication between living units such as cells and bacteria [10] [11].
