Near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS, offers a way to monitor brain activity without surgery or radiation by tracking changes ...

Can a near infrared laptop light boost my mood? I tried it to find out ...

The brain-machine interface (BMI) provides a means of controlling machines and robots for locked-in people by interpreting the neuronal signals from the brain directly. Recently, researchers ...

Researchers created artificial synaptic vesicles remotely controlled by near-infrared light. Local nanoscale heating modulates membrane permeability, enabling precise neurotransmitter release. These ...

A new study from a research team at the Center for Wireless Communications Network and Systems (CWC-NS) at the University of Oulu has introduced an approach using near-infrared (NIR) light beyond ...

In 2021, dermatologist David Ozog was on holiday with his family in the Bahamas, when his 18-year-old son had a massive stroke. The teenager was airlifted to Florida, and then to Chicago for surgery.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) is taking steps to explore how noninvasive, nondrug light therapy can help military members and veterans recover from traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Transcranial ...

An artificial retina that detects 'near-infrared' light, previously invisible without night vision goggles, has been ...
