I may have information regarding how you can contact someone who can tell you all about trials. You must write "IR Helmet" in subject line, so that I will take note and open your email. My time is very limited and 98% of my emails go unopened.

Take care!

I hope this is genuine but it looks like wishful thinking. There is no independently-verified evidence that the helmet makes any difference to brain function. One study (on mice) tentatively supports the idea that near infra-red might have a positive effect: Michalikova S, Ennaceur A, van Rensburg R, Chazot PL (2007) Behavior and Memory Performance of Middle-Aged Female CD1 Mice in a 3D maze: Effects of Near Infrared Light. Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, Though there are some laboratory studies apparently showing some beneficial effects in cell culture, i can find no corroboration of Michalikova et al's results. This is surprising since, if the effect is real, we would have a medical breakthrough.
