Light Therapy for Brain Excitability in Healthy Young Adults
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive light therapy (transcranial photobiomodulation) can change how excitable your brain cells are. The results will help design future treatments for people with brain conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a healthy volunteer between 18 and 35 years old.
- You cannot have any current or past neurological (e.g., seizures, stroke, brain tumor) or psychiatric conditions.
- You must not have used any psychiatric medications in the past 12 months.
- You cannot have any implanted devices in your head (like cochlear implants or aneurysm clips).
- You must not have participated in another brain stimulation study in the last 6 months.
