Work: István Bókkon: Chemical and bioengineer, PhD doctorandus at Semmelweis University, Member of the Hungarian Biochemical Society, Member of the Editorial Board of Activitas Nervosa Superior, Associate professor at Vision Research Institute, 428 Great Road Suite 11, Acton, MA 01720 USA I deal with the natural biophysical substrate of visual perception and visual imagery.The main goal of my research is to prove that intrinsic pictures can be emerged by redox and biophoton processes in retinotopically organized cytochrome oxidase rich neurons of visual areas during visual imagery, visual hallucination, and REM dream pictures within the brain. You can download and read some of my papers on this website. I do not claim to solve the secret of consciousness, but propose that the evolution in the higher levels of complexity made possible the intrinsic picture representation of the external visual world by regulated redox and bioluminescent biophotons in the visual system during visual perception and visual imagery. Please, send me an email if you are interested in any collaboration! Contact: bokkoni@yahoo.com Recently we presented (Wang, Bókkon et al. 2011 Brain Res.) the first experimental evidence for the existence of spontaneous and visible light induced ultraweak biophoton emission from in vitro freshly isolated rat’s whole eye, lens, vitreous humor and retina. These results support that the photochemical source of retinal discrete noise as well as retinal phosphenes could be originated from natural bioluminescent photons within the eyes. Soon we publish a new paper that proves that ocular mechanical pressure can induce biophoton emission from in vitro freshly isolated rat’s whole eye. It seems that retinal phosphenes really due to the biophotons. Since retinal and cortical induced phosphenes are required to have a common molecular biophysical basis, if it can be demonstrated that perception of cortical induced phosphenes is due to bioluminescent photons, intrinsic regulated biophotons in early retinotopic visual system can be seen to serve as a natural biophysical substrate of visual perception and imagery. I am looking for supporters to my researches! Papers: •Bókkon I, Vimal RLP (2011) Subliminal afterimages via ocular delayed luminescence: visual saccades and color illusion.
