About This Trial
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to test whether transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique using near-infrared light, can improve brain blood flow regulation (neurovascular coupling) and cognitive function in older adults.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does tPBM enhance neurovascular coupling responses during memory and finger tappin…
