Light therapy to boost brain energy for better thinking
This study tests a light-based therapy (photobiomodulation) applied to the head to see if it can improve thinking and memory by boosting energy in brain cells. It may help healthy adults sharpen their cognitive abilities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
