Helmet
The portable device covers the head and weighs about 3.5 lb., and is made of light-weight, durable plastic, it is placed on the head with eye panels facing forward. Elastic straps holding the arrays together easily expand to conform to each subjects' head. Patients may notice slight warming of scalp after usage. This warming effect is similar to wearing a regular motorcycle helmet for a similar duration.
