- A new paper in iScience proposes “photoencephalography,” a technique that attempts to infer functional brain activations by imaging the faint endogenous light emitted from neural tissue as a by-product of oxidative metabolism, suggesting that sufficiently sensitive night-vision or ultra-low-light imaging hardware could enable non-invasive optical brain monitoring.  
- The discussion frames the paper’s practical takeaway as “they need better night-vision goggles,” highlighting the community’s interest in repurposing or advancing consumer-grade imaging hardware for DIY neuroscience.  
- A link to SonarCloud (https://www.sonarsource.com/products/sonarcloud/) was shared as a code-quality checker, indicating ongoing attention to software reliability in open-source bio- and neuro-tech projects.  
- Zack Kanter’s 2019 essay “What is Amazon” (https://zackkanter.com/2019/03/13/what-is-amazon/) was circulated, likely as background reading on platform economics and logistics that could inform distributed bio-manufacturing or transhumanist venture models.
