Key takeaways
- 01The human body emits ultraweak light
- 02This light is linked to energy metabolism
- 03The light's intensity follows a diurnal rhythm
- 04Emission is lowest in the morning and peaks in the afternoon
The human body emits a faint, rhythmic light that appears to fluctuate with our daily metabolic cycles.
Abstract
The human body literally glimmers. The intensity of the light emitted by the body is 1000 times lower than the sensitivity of our naked eyes. Ultraweak photon emission is known as the energy released as light through the changes in energy metabolism. We successfully imaged the diurnal change of this ultraweak photon emission with an improved highly sensitive imaging system using cryogenic charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. We found that the human body directly and rhythmically emits light. The diurnal changes in photon emission might be linked to changes in energy metabolism.
