Background: In recent years, biologically active points (BAPs) have become the topic of intensive scientific discussion. Innovative investigations of this topic are presented. Methods: Types of skin surface luminescence patterns in the areas of BAPs observed after acting on the area with a short light pulse are analyzed. The device was designed as a laboratory model (NSTU, medical electronics laboratory, Novosibirsk, Russia). Pictures were taken with a PENTAX K10 , a PENTAX ist DL as well as a Canon 6D photo camera. Luminescent points can clearly be observed. The pictures were zoomed on a computer and graphically analyzed. Results: Five patterns were found: black center with white ring, black center with 2 rings (white and black), white center with black ring, white center with 2 rings (black and white) and white center with 3 rings (black, white and black). Luminescent BAPs were found on the pericardium and triple energizer meridians. Conclusion: This pilot study can serve as a basis for further investigations in the field of meridian research. The first results are very promising, and future studies are indicated in body acupuncture as well as ear acupuncture.
