Zusammenfassung
Biophoton emission is the ultraweak light emission originating from almost all biological systems in various living states and considered to be an universal phenomenon occurring in nature. We have been studying the physiological role and biophysical properties of human biophoton emission, a new physiological information noninvasively detectable at human body surface. Characterizations of the spectral, spatial and temporal photon distributions and their correlations with other physiological and/or biochemical parameters, for example, have been carried out by using several kinds of ultrasensitive photon counting systems, including the filter-differential type biophoton spectrum analyzer and the two-dimensional biophoton imaging system, developed in our laboratory. Here we report examples of the first experimental results on the ultraweak biophoton emission measured at the surface of human hands under various conditions.
