Conditions
Interventions
Near-Infrared Transcranial Photobiomodulation
tPBM-NIR involves the use of a device that administers near-infrared light over the scalp. The light activates target brain regions.
Sham Transcranial Photobiomodulation
tPBM-Sham involves the use of an identical device to tPBM-NIR but does not administer near-infrared light. It mimics the sensation by applying heat but does not actually activate target regions of the brain
