Is there a way to measure the light frequencies of brainwaves outside of the brain.

It's not clear what you mean by 'the light frequencies of brainwaves.'Bill Gutshall said:Is there a way to measure the light frequencies of brainwaves outside of the brain.
That was linked not lined in post above.Bill Gutshall said:Thank you for replies, I am actually seeking to find out if there is a light sensor to measure light wave output from the brain. Something like a miniature PET machine with real time output versus just photograph that can be lined via a brain cap of some sort to a computer.
What makes you think the brain is emitting light waves?Bill Gutshall said:Thank you for replies, I am actually seeking to find out if there is a light sensor to measure light wave output from the brain.

Bill Gutshall said:I am an amateur at this so pardon me if I err, but my understanding is there is activity happening in the brain which to me connotes energy.
Bill Gutshall said:Energy is usually a particle or waveform also known as a wavicle (hope I understand this correctly) which can possibly? be measured.
Bill Gutshall said:That energy has a frequency? and that can be measured.
Bill Gutshall said:I know we can measure the radio frequencies? of the brain and I am wondering if there are small enough sensors to measure the light frequencies. I can definitely be wrong here but if there are radio frequencies it seems to me there would be light frequencies that could also be measured if there are sensitive enough devices for that to take place.

Thank You. I found some helpful info about brain monitoring from the MIT post, as well as the EEG post. (I have a small EEG that I use with Hypnosis clients to monitor brain wave activity before, during and after the session.)phinds said:By simply copying your subject line into Google (a resource that you should learn to use), I got lots of hits, including these:

Bill Gutshall said:"As been said the brain does not put out visible light" I have been constantly surprised by the invention of more sensitive ways of measuring energy in its many forms and amazed how the theories of universal laws shift when new mathematical theories are proven.

Light frequencies in brainwaves can be measured using a technique called electroencephalography (EEG). This involves attaching electrodes to the scalp to record the electrical activity of the brain. The EEG machine then analyzes the signals and can detect specific light frequencies in the brainwaves.
No, not all light frequencies are present in brainwaves. The brain produces a range of frequencies, including alpha, beta, delta, and theta waves. These frequencies correspond to different states of consciousness and are associated with different activities in the brain.
Yes, EEG technology has advanced significantly in recent years and can accurately measure light frequencies in brainwaves. However, the accuracy of the measurement also depends on the placement and quality of the electrodes, as well as the expertise of the person conducting the EEG test.
Measuring light frequencies in brainwaves can provide valuable insights into the brain's activity and function. It can help diagnose certain neurological disorders, monitor brain activity during sleep or meditation, and even assist in improving cognitive performance through neurofeedback training.
Current EEG technology can detect a wide range of light frequencies in brainwaves, but there may be a limit to the number of frequencies that can be accurately measured. This is because different frequencies can overlap and interfere with each other, making it challenging to isolate and measure each one individually. However, as technology continues to advance, this limit may be pushed further in the future.
