Left-right and Yin-Yang balance of biophoton emission from hands.

Yearlong measurements of biophotons from palm and back of hand of three healthy people were performed. The detection of biophoton was done with two photomultiplier tubes whose spectral range was from 300 nm to 650 nm. The measurement was done on a circular area of diameter 46 mm whose centers were at the acupuncture point Laogong (PC8) of a palm and the mid-point of a back, respectively.

Year-long biophoton measurements: normalized frequency count analysis and seasonal dependency.

Biophoton emissions from three healthy human subjects were measured for 52 weeks. The active nature of dorsal hands and personal discernable patterns in palmar hands were investigated through frequency count analysis of biophoton emission rates. Also, the seasonal dependency of biophoton emission rates from human hands was studied and we found that emission rates were lowest in autumn.

Left-right asymmetry of biophoton emission from hemiparesis patients.

Left-right biophoton asymmetry from the palm and the dorsum of hands from 7 Korean hemiparesis patients were studied. There is a strong tendency that the left-hemiparesis patients emit more biophotons from the right than the left hands, while the right-hemiparesis patient emits more from the left hand. Acupuncture treatment reduces dramatically the left-right asymmetry of biophoton emission rates.

Photon counting statistics analysis of biophotons from hands.

The photon counting statistics of biophotons emitted from hands is studied with a view to test its agreement with the Poisson distribution. The moments of observed probability up to seventh order have been evaluated. The moments of biophoton emission from hands are in good agreement while those of dark counts of photomultiplier tube show large deviations from the theoretical values of Poisson distribution.
