Stimulate Your Photosensitive Brain

A group of researchers in Finland have demonstrated that our brain is photosensitive.  Brain function changes when you shine light on it.    Their research has shown that brain light therapy can improve cognitive function, mental energy and mood.   The effects seem significant and long lasting.

You can shine light directly on some of the photosensitive regions of your brain through the ear canal.   A consumer product, Valkee, does exactly that with light-emitting ear plugs.  According to the researchers you need to use it for 10 minutes a day to see results.

Interested to hear from readers that have used the Valkee or some other form of light-based brain stimulation.
