What we don’t know and what the future holds

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

This final chapter will seek to answer some of the pressing questions in the field of photobiomodulation (PBM) for brain disorders, and also focuses on what the future holds. The pertinent questions are: What are the best diseases and conditions to be treated? How important is penetration to the brain? What about systemic effects? What is best way to deliver light? How important is pulsing? How important is the location on the head? How important is the biphasic dose response? What about cognitive enhancement and preconditioning? How does PBM compare with other noninvasive brain stimulation devices? Could an invasive approach be considered?.
