Transcranial Photobiomodulation Archives - Page 4 of 5

Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is unique form of phtobiomodulation. It is a noninvasive neuromodulation modality for neuroenhancement and brain wellness. Research data shows that tPBM has a potential to improve brain function. It’s application is under studies for a wide range of neurological and psychiatric disorders. The studies include tPBM applications for dementia, including Alzheimer’s Disease, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and more.

Furthermore, tPBM is also under investigation for performance improving qualities for athletes, the military and general public.

Near infrared light (NIR) therapy is the most common form of tPBM. This is so, because studies show that NIR light can penetrate deep enough into the brain to effect its modulation.

Thus, studies show that NIR therapy can improve cognitive acuity by modulating mitochondrial and cellular functions in the brain.

Brain Stimulation Devices Boosting General Wellness

General wellness devices come in many forms and colours. Some sleek, some quirky-looking, they are useful gadgets, which can be helpful for your wellbeing. Brain stimulation and neural modulation are only two of the areas where new generations of general wellness devices are gaining footprint. Only a few years ago brain stimulation was a [...]

Brain Stimulation with Light Energy

Brain stimulation is a term that may sound both familiar and distant to many. What about the terms brain stimulation using light energy or non-invasive brain stimulation? How about transcranial photobiomodulation? Often enough you hear words that seem simple to understand, but, somehow, they create a fuzzy aura of vagueness and mystery. This is [...]

Vielight Research Grows

The Interest in Vielight’s Research Grows, but There is More…. International media has recently taken note of the work that Vielight is doing in Alzheimer’s Disease research. An article on Vielight’s work was published by a major UK newspaper, The Daily Telegraph. This article was picked up by a number of prominent newspapers. The [...]

Biohacking Extraordinary Brain Functions

“Photo-Neuro-Hacking” is here! Vielight with its photobiomodulation (PBM) technology, has been the subject of growing interest in the field of biohacking of the brain. The delivery of light to influence brain functions is appealing to many biohackers. Not surprisingly, most are seeking ways to achieve that in an uncomplicated and affordable way, without the [...]

Validating Intranasal Pulsed Photobiomodulation

Interim Report Reveals Intranasal Photobiomodulation’s Significant Effect on the Brain Vielight has been closely identified by its intranasal technology. This is where a uniquely designed nasal applicator delivers light of the specific wavelengths in the nasal cavity. The patent for this technology was granted to Dr. Lew Lim, the Founder and CEO of the [...]

Can Light Therapy Help the Brain?

Brain photobiomodulation or transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is the process of using near-infrared (NIR) light to improve brain functions. For example, cognitive activity and mental acuity are some of the functions that can be improved. The tPBM is a bioenergetics process which affects cellular functions. Thus, it stimulates the photosensitive cytochrome c oxidase enzyme within [...]

Photobiomodulation Creates Multi-factorial Pathways

Poster accepted and presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, 2019 Pathways Photobiomodulation (PBM) in this presentation concerns the delivery of near infrared (NIR) to the brain to treat Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) using a home-use device, the Vielight Neuro Gamma. The key parameters are wavelength of 810 nm, pulse rate of 40 Hz, targeting [...]

What Can A Chronic Stroke Patients Study Reveal?

What can a research study reveal and where can it lead? These are the main questions that we are discussing in this blog post. Hence, focusing on the subject of what a chronic stroke patients study can tell, we take a dive into a researcher's world of science, analysis and discovery. Last month we [...]

Default Mode Network Photobiomodulation

To discuss photobiomodulation and the brain’s default mode network we reached out to Prof. Margaret Naeser, at the VA Boston Healthcare System. She is a Research Professor of Neurology, Boston University School of Medicine. She kindly provided us with some in-depth, detailed information. We asked her to answer a few questions related to her [...]

Light therapy treatment – research journey

Light therapy treatments, or photobiomodulation (PBM), has been a subject of heated debates and numerous attacks. Many skeptics and people distant from the science are questioning the benefits of photobiomodulation. Some of them out right rejecting the existence of the therapeutic benefits. Thus, using red and near infrared light (NIR) for therapeutic effects has [...]
