Research
Our vision is to pioneer a new perspective on how light, sound, electromagnetism, and natural and technological forces shape physiology, health, and wellness, guiding individuals to harness these forces for optimal vitality.
Biometrics and Biophysics
Biometrics and Biophysics
how to measure what biophysics does to us
Biometrics measure the physiological and behavioral effects of biophysical processes by capturing real-time data from the body’s responses to internal and external stimuli. Biophysics explores how physical principles—like electricity, pressure, and mechanics—affect biological systems.
Biometric tools quantify these biophysical changes through various sensors and techniques such as: Heart Rate & HRV measuring beats per minute variability to reveal autonomic nervous system activity.
Within the realm of Biophysics and Biometrics, until the level of string theory, objects are observable and measurable. In the area of human physiology, there are many well established biometric normal ranges such as blood analysis. In functional physiology, we observe how things work and those biometrics, while changeable, are relatively stable, such as blood pressure, respiration, and heart rate. Calculations derived from these measurements over time are part of our ongoing project in Biophysics and Biometrics. As part of this project we are enlisting the aid of our members to provide easily obtainable physiological data about their body’s function and condition. We are currently constructing a biometric data input form which can be used by individuals to track and monitor physiology over time. All data will be anonymous and only sorted by biological sex and decade of life. This is a long term, ongoing project to help the individual and group see which interventions of biophysics-based technology provided a measurable positive physical outcome.
Bioimpedance
Bioimpedance
Bioimpedance is a method used to estimate body composition, particularly body fat and muscle mass, by measuring the resistance of body tissues to a weak electrical current. It helps assess total body water and can provide insights into health and fitness levels.
Body Composition
Body composition refers to the percentages of fat, bone, water, and muscle in your body. It's a more detailed measure of health than just weight or BMI because it distinguishes between fat mass and lean mass. The key components are Fat Mass which Includes both essential fat (needed for bodily functions) and storage fat (accumulated in adipose tissue), Lean Mass which is muscles, bones, organs and fluids and Water Content, which is a major component of lean mass, crucial for cellular function. It can be used as a health indicator, for weight management and fitness tracking.
Biophotons
Biophotons/ Biomodulation
Biophotons are weak light particles emitted by human cells, playing a potential role in cellular communication and health. They are linked to processes like oxidative stress and may influence mental health and overall physiological functions. Recent biophotonics research has created new applications for clinical therapies allowing opportunities for superior, non-invasive diagnostics for vascular and blood flow, as well as tools for better examination of skin lesions.
Lasers
Laser light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and decrease inflammation in tissues. Laser therapy works by cellular absorption, especially by mitochondria, which enhances cellular metabolism and energy production. It promotes the release of nitric oxide, which dilates blood vessels and improves blood flow and suppresses inflammatory enzymes and boosts natural anti-inflammatory responses. It has also been shown to stimulate endorphin release and reduce pain signals.
Light Bulbs
Colored light therapy uses different wavelengths of light to target various physical and emotional conditions. Each color penetrates the skin at different depths and is believed to stimulate biological processes in unique ways. Light penetrates the skin and stimulates mitochondria to produce ATP (cellular energy), aiding in repair and rejuvenation. Here's a breakdown of the main types:
| Color | Wavelength Range | Primary Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| 🔴 Red | ~620–750 nm | Stimulates collagen, reduces inflammation, promotes healing |
| 🔵 Blue | ~450–495 nm | Kills acne-causing bacteria, calms skin |
| 🟡 Yellow | ~570–590 nm | Boosts mood, improves circulation, reduces redness |
| 🟢 Green | ~495–570 nm | Relieves stress, balances energy, soothes skin |
| 🟣 Violet | ~380–450 nm | Combines calming and rejuvenating effects |
Magnetic Fields
Magnetic Fields
Pulsed magnetic field therapy, also known as pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy, uses electromagnetic fields to promote healing in the body, particularly for conditions like non-union fractures.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation (often called e-stim) is a therapeutic technique that uses mild electrical currents to activate nerves or muscles for various health benefits. It sends controlled electrical pulses through electrodes placed on the skin and mimics natural nerve signals to stimulate muscles or block pain signals. It can improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and support healing.
Waveforms
Waveforms are a foundational concept that bridges physics and biology representing rhythmic patterns of energy or motion. In physics, waveforms depict how energy travels through different mediums. In biology, waveforms often represent patterns of physiological activity, communication, or environmental interaction.
Sound Frequencies
Sound Frequencies
Sound frequency therapy uses sound waves and vibrations to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. It often involves instruments, music and novel treatments that can help in these areas. Research shows sound frequencies, even extremely high ones like ultrasound, can affect human biology in fascinating ways. Studies from places like Stanford and Kyoto University find high frequencies influence cell behavior, suppress fat formation, and tweak gene activity by vibrating cells directly. Ultrasound, way above audible range, is used medically for imaging or breaking up kidney stones safely, while some lab work hints at brainwave shifts or pain relief from vibrations.
Music
Music’s influence on biophysics is a fascinating and expanding area of research that bridges sound, cellular behavior, and physiological responses. Cellular and molecular affects include influencing ion channel activity and signal transduction, modulating gene expression in plants, bacteria, and animal cells. It may also protein structures or enzyme kinetics, although this is still under investigation.
Bowls
The soothing tones of singing bowls, often used in meditation and sound healing may actually influence your biology in measurable ways. They can shift brainwave patterns from active states (like beta) to deeply relaxed states (like theta or delta) to reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation. In addition, studies using heart rate variability (HRV) show that singing bowl sessions can significantly reduce stress levels as participants often experience lower heart rates and improved parasympathetic nervous system activity, which promotes relaxation and recovery. Singing bowls may affect the body’s biofield, a concept from energy medicine, by restoring balance and coherence as the vibrations from the bowls are thought to interact with subtle energy systems, though this area is still being explored scientifically.
Water: The Foundation of Life
Water: The Foundation of Life
Water’s unique properties are integral and indispensable for the biological processes of life. It comprises 60-70 percent of the human body. Water-based fluids like blood transport oxygen, nutrients, and hormones. Water maintains cellular structure. It is critical for maintaining body temperature and generating pH levels vital for cellular chemistry and metabolism.
