The Big June Data Dump
9 June – 23 June 2026

A new peer-reviewed pilot of Vielight's intranasal-transcranial photobiomodulation reported improvements in memory, overall cognition, and brain connectivity in adults with mild cognitive impairment. Published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, the randomized study of 20 participants also noted changes in biomarkers tied to inflammation and cellular energy production, with analysis conducted by an independent team. The results follow shortly after Vielight announced a new partnership with UFC fighter Ilia Topuria.
