THE FUTURE OF BRAIN PHOTOBIOMODULATION
Say hello to two powerful, wearable devices at the forefront of brain photobiomodulation.
The Vielight Neuro Alpha and Vielight Neuro Gamma feature improved transcranial clusters over the previous Neuro design – leading to triple the power density.
The 40 Hz pulse rate is an experimental pulse rate that has shown great promise in the field of memory research.

The light emitting diodes (LEDs) are directed to hubs of the default mode network of the brain. A healthy default mode network is associated with a healthy brain.
The pulse rate of 10-Hz correlates with alpha (α) oscillations within the brain. Invoking the 10-Hz pulse frequency is theoretically associated with improved recovery from brain injuries and is a feature of a healthy, calm and resting brain.
Theoretically, the more intense 40-Hz pulse rate, which correlates with gamma (γ) oscillations within the brain, is associated with activating glial cells which clear unwanted protein deposits, higher cognitive processing capability and memory consolidation.
The Gamma is being used in several ongoing clinical trials in several sites across North America. Find out more about the trials in the button link below.
This device is designed for portability and ease-of-use. The parameters are similar to the Neuro Alpha but this device directs light energy only through the nasal cavity at a lower power density.
The effects are comparable to a vitamin for the brain.

Design of the Vielight Neuro
Default Mode Network
Figure 1 : The Default Mode Network.
- In neuroscience, the Default Mode Network (DMN) is a network of highly interactive brain regions.
- Research on DMN abnormalities and related neuropathologies are highly advanced.
Targeted Stimulation
Figure 2 : Targeted Photoneuromodulation
- Targeting the DMN enables us to utilize fewer but very high-powered diodes in specific transcranial areas and an intranasal diode (5 areas in total) to deliver low level photons to the targeted network hubs.
- Our microchip LED technology allows extraction of a higher power density – sufficient to penetrate natural barriers and deliver photons to neurons.
The Intranasal Channel
Figure 3 : The Intranasal Gateway To The Brain
- The intranasal channel is the most efficient channel to deliver photons to the deep ventral area, which holds core brain structures. (Reference Link )
- Photons diffuse easily through porous bone tissue when compared to natural barriers such as the skin and hair.
Next-Generation Design

- Our objective was to turn research-grade photobiomodulation devices into something simple, effective and affordable.
- The Vielight Neuro is a next-generation photobiomodulation device, improving on the design, efficiency and power of older devices.

FEATURED TECHNOLOGY
The science of brain photobiomodulation is catching on.
Our intranasal technology was featured on the “Brain’s Way of Healing” episode on the “The Nature of Things” series, featuring Dr. David Suzuki and Dr. Norman Doidge.

David Suzuki, Co-Founder of the David Suzuki Foundation, is an award-winning scientist, environmentalist and broadcaster. He is renowned for his radio and television programs that explain the complexities of the natural sciences in a compelling, easily understood way.
Dr. Doidge served as Head of the Psychotherapy Centre and the Assessment Clinic at the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry also taught in the department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto. Along with his work on neuroplasticity, he is the author of chapters on research based standards and guidelines for the practice of intensive psychotherapy that have been used in Canada.
