The application of near-infrared (NIR) light on the scalp has been shown to improve cognition and reduce depression in young adults and people with a traumatic brain injury. This study will test whether NIR stimulation of the scalp improves cognition in older adults. Over six weeks, participants will receive six one-hour sessions of either the NIR intervention or a sham procedure. The researchers will measure changes in cognition, memory, psychological well-being, and mood.
