A method for treating a subject with low level light therapy for enhancement of neurologic function (e.g., cognitive function) is provided. The method includes noninvasively delivering light energy having a wavelength of about 630 nanometers to about 904 nanometers to the brain of the subject. Delivering the light energy can include (i) irradiating the scalp with light energy having an incident power density less than 1000 mW/cmand (ii) transmitting a portion of the light energy through the scalp and the skull to the brain.

Low level light therapy for enhancement of neurologic function

A method for treating a subject having Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease is provided. The method includes noninvasively delivering light energy having a wavelength of about 630 nanometers to about 904 nanometers to the brain of the subject. Delivering the light energy can include (i) irradiating the scalp with light energy having an incident power density between about 10 mW/cmto about 10 W/cmand (ii) transmitting a portion of the light energy through the scalp and the skull to the brain, wherein the transmitted light energy has a power density of at least about 0.01 mW/cmat a depth of approximately 2 centimeters below the dura.
