Presentation Title: Physiological Effect of Non-invasive Photobiomodulation in the Healthy Human Brain
Abstract: Transcranial Photobiomodulation (tPBM) is the application of low levels of red or near infrared (NIR) light to stimulate neural tissues. Investigations suggest tPBM could potentially address various brain conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases. However, determination of the optimum set of parameters such as power density, wavelengths and pulse frequencies would improve outcomes further. This study takes an important step to overcome this shortfall by investigating the brain response to stimulation with different power densities, pulse frequencies and wavelengths, mapping with BOLD fMRI.
