Infrared-esque imaging. [ link to www.sciencedaily.com (secure)] Science textbooks say we can’t see infrared light. Like X-rays and radio waves, infrared light waves are outside the visual spectrum. But an international team of researchers has found that under certain conditions, the retina can sense infrared light after all.
Using cells from the retinas of mice and people, and powerful lasers that emit pulses of infrared light, the researchers found that when laser light pulses rapidly, light-sensing cells in the retina sometimes get a double hit of infrared energy. When that happens, the eye is able to detect light that falls outside the visible spectrum.

Disclosed is a device for irradiating the periorbital area around the eye with diffuse infrared irradiation, without streaming it directly into the user's eye, in order to stimulate the pineal gland and produce a calming effect. The device may be in the form of a glasses or spectacles frame with a secondary inner frame mounted on it. The inner frame is U-shaped and hollow, with oval cut-outs to let the light shine through. The infra-red radiation is provided by a circuitry box at the side of the glasses, powered by a battery and producing infrared radiation of 830nm at 3600THz, with rays of 20-30 degrees, with the light entering the inner frame by a space in the inner frame. The device may be used on the peri-orbital tissue during the day or at night, to relieve physical and mental symptoms of stress, depression, seasonal affective disorder, sleep disorders etc. Details of the functioning of the pineal gland and methods of using the device are also provided.Lol
