The scientists detailed their findings online July 16 in the journal PLoS ONE.

(July 22) - The human body literally glows, emitting a visible light in extremely small quantities at levels that rise and fall with the day, scientists now reveal.  
Past research has shown that the body emits visible light, 1,000 times less intense than the levels to which our naked eyes are sensitive. In fact, virtually all living creatures emit very weak light, which is thought to be a byproduct of biochemical reactions involving free radicals.

(This visible light differs from the infrared radiation — an invisible form of light — that comes from body heat.)

it looks like a Infrared Thermal Imaging.

but not quite.. the human head is not the warmer place of the body 🙂

interesting theory djandarial.. but i never heard it until now 🙂

Sadly this science was later used to make human glowsticks…  
Sparklie bits are made of people!!!

^.^

This might explain some of the comment pregnant women get.. “you’re glowing” I’d like to see those face scans.
