Unlock Your Brain's Potential with the Vielight Neuro Duo
The Vielight Neuro Duo represents a powerful and extensively researched brain photobiomodulation (tPBM) device, featuring cutting-edge intranasal technology. It's designed to be safe, effective, and exceptionally user-friendly, offering the potential to unlock your brain's capabilities. Our patented transcranial-intranasal technology provides a unique and potent approach to stimulating the Default Mode Network in the brain.
The Neuro Duo emits pulsed near-infrared (NIR) energy through the cranium, initiating the process of photobiomodulation. Our engineering prowess allows us to extract one of the highest levels of power (~100 mW/cm2) from a near-infrared LED energy source, all while ensuring there is no heat generated.
This innovative device operates at two crucial frequencies:
Choose the Vielight Neuro Duo to embark on a journey of brain stimulation, where you can potentially experience amplified focus, cognitive performance, memory enhancement, relaxation, and better sleep. Our rigorous research and cutting-edge technology combine to offer you a powerful tool to tap into your brain's potential.
Why the nose?
Being just 3 inches from the brain, the intranasal channel is the most efficient channel for photobiomodulation of the ventral (underside) brain area. These ventral structures within the brain’s core have important functions.
Engineering behind the Vielight Neuro.
The Vielight Neuro enables direct contact with the scalp’s surface to maximize energy transmission and penetration while microchip-boosted cold LED diodes generate substantial power without releasing heat. Additionally, our patented intranasal technology enables photobiomodulation of the ventral brain areas.

Clusters of electrodes with significant difference between the two conditions are marked in ‘+’ sign (p < 0.05 and αcluster = 0.01). (a) Difference between post and pre active tPBM. (b) Difference between post and pre sham tPBM. (c) Difference between pre active and sham tPMB. (d) Difference between post active and sham tPMB.
tPBM's Impact on Resting-State EEG:
Active vs Sham Stimulation Compared by Frequency Bands.
Influence of tPBM on resting-state electroencephalography. Box plot illustrates the median and range of power spectrum across all electrodes for each oscillatory frequency bands. (a) Effect of active tPBM on power spectrum pre (green line) and post (red line). (b) Effect of sham tPBM on power spectrum pre (green line) and post (red line).

Additional information
What wavelength does the Vielight Neuro emit?
The Vielight Neuro emits pulsed 810nm NIR energy to enable brain stimulation through the photobiomodulation process.
Why the 810nm wavelength?
The 810nm wavelength has the deepest penetration through tissue and bone, enabling photonic transmission to neuronal mitochondria.
What is the difference between the Duo, Gamma and Alpha models?
The Gamma model pulses NIR light energy at 40 Hz, which has a neuromodulating effect on Gamma neural oscillations.
Effects are an increase of focus, information processing, memory improvement, energizing.
The Alpha model pulses NIR light energy at 10 Hz. This frequency is similar to neural alpha waves. Theoretical brain stimulation effects on alpha waves have a correlation with the brain’s resting state, offering support for mindfulness, learning, relaxation, sleep improvement.
The Duo makes both of these pulse rates available to you – having both pulse rates brings the most benefits.
How much power do your brain photobiomodulation devices generate?
Our brain photobiomodulation devices generate sufficient power to penetrate the skull and produce statistically significant results in independent research studies.
What is the recommended usage?
The general recommended usage is to use once every other day before experimenting with more frequent usage, not exceeding once per day. For more serious cognitive impairment, the recommendation is once per day, six days a week. Please note these recommendations are theoretical and anecdotal.
