Computational Neuro‑Biophotonics: A Theoretical Framework for Ultra‑Weak Photon Emission in Neural Systems

This record presents a theoretical and computational framework for studying Ultra‑Weak Photon Emission (UPE) in neural systems. UPE—extremely low‑intensity light produced by living cells—is associated with oxidative metabolism and mitochondrial activity. The framework explores whether the statistical and complexity structure of UPE signals can serve as an indirect indicator of neural metabolic and thermodynamic states during cognitive processes.The work integrates concepts from computational neuroscience, biophysics, and signal‑complexity analysis, proposing a pipeline that includes entropy metrics, coherence analysis, and multifractal modeling. Photon emission is treated not as a carrier of cognitive content, but as a secondary observable reflecting underlying neural metabolic dynamics.This is a conceptual and computational proposal, intended to guide future experimental research in neuro‑biophotonics and to support interdisciplinary investigations into neural metabolism, information processing, and biological light emission.
