  2. Phosphorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorescence

    Phosphorescence is a type of photoluminescence related to fluorescence. When exposed to light (radiation) of a shorter wavelength, a phosphorescent substance will glow, absorbing the light and reemitting it at a longer wavelength. Unlike fluorescence, a phosphorescent material does not immediately reemit the radiation it absorbs.

  3. Phosphene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphene

    A possible use of phosphenes as part of a brain to brain communication system has been reported. The system called BrainNet, produces phosphenes using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The goal of the research is to connect thoughts brain to brain using a system where signals are detected using electroencephalography ( EEG ) and ...

  4. Phosphor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphor

    Fluorescent materials are used in applications in which the phosphor is excited continuously: cathode-ray tubes (CRT) and plasma video display screens, fluoroscope screens, fluorescent lights, scintillation sensors, white LEDs, and luminous paints for black light art. Phosphorescent materials are used where a persistent light is needed, such as ...

  5. Persistent luminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistent_luminescence

    In phosphorescence, even if the emission lives several seconds, this is due to deexcitation between two electronic states of different spin multiplicity. Persistent luminescence involves energy traps (such as electron or hole traps) in a material, [ 4 ] which are filled during the excitation.

  6. Luminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminescence

    Phosphorescence, traditionally defined as persistent emission of light after the end of excitation. As the definition does not fully describe the phenomenon, quantum mechanics is employed where it is defined as there is a change in spin multiplicity from the state of excitation to the emission of light.

  7. Visual processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_processing

    Visual processing is the brain's ability to use and interpret visual information from the world. The process of converting light energy into a meaningful image is a complex process that is facilitated by numerous brain structures and higher level cognitive processes.

    As for the orgasm connection, oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus (i.e., the control center of the brain), which is yet another region activated—both in the posterior and anterior—during ...

  9. Photostimulated luminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photostimulated_luminescence

    Photostimulated luminescence (PSL) is the release of stored energy within a phosphor by stimulation with visible light, to produce a luminescent signal. X-rays may induce such an energy storage. A plate based on this mechanism is called a photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plate (or imaging plate ) and is one type of X-ray detector used in ...
