infrared (IR) wavelengths, since red -
light is

absorb all visible
light and some

light to pass through, but they reflect
infrared light back to the emitter, where it's
absorbed and some of the energy is re-emitted as visible
light.

absorbed as visible
light is equal to the amount emitted as
infrared light.
The sensors detect how much
infrared light is
absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood and therefore report where brain activity is greatest (because that's where the blood goes).
This is useful for finding galaxies because while large clouds of dust will scatter or
