Brain Emits Light: Scientists Explore New Way to Monitor Brain Health

Imagine your brain is like a lightbulb that gives off a very faint glow.

Scientists have found the brain does emit a tiny amount of light, called biophoton emission.

They're studying this light to see if it can tell us about how the brain is working and staying healthy.

Researchers are hoping to develop a new way to check the brain's health, called photoencephalography.

This could mean doctors could learn more about the brain using just light, which could be safer and simpler than current methods.
