Second, older adults have to search through more memories than do younger adults to find the fact or piece of information they’re looking for. Neuro RX Gamma headset helps Alzheimer’s patients recover their memories. A Canadian biotechnology company has been able to devise a new headset that will bring a medical and therapeutic breakthrough for Alzheimer’s patients, as it can work to restore memory to patients. Scientists believe that shining light directly into the brain areas damaged in Alzheimer’s through the nose and skull can reverse the disease. The new device, called the Neuro RX Gamma headset, being tested was developed by Vielight, a leader in brain photobiomodulation (PBM) technology.
The headset equipped with LEDs is based on Vielight’s proprietary PBM technology. The Neuro RX Gamma is non-invasive, delivers near-infrared energy, pulsing at the gamma rate of 40Hz, to the region responsible for memory in the brain in daily treatment sessions. It has been designed to be suitable for home-use. The infrared light is delivered through four diodes positioned over the scalp and one positioned inside the nostril. Internet addiction disorder.
