The Vielight Neuro Duo 4 is the world’s only intranasal-transcranial (itPBM) brain photobiomodulation device.
Engineered as a next-generation near infrared helmet, this modular system uses 5 high-power Vie-LEDs and a patented intranasal applicator to deliver full transcranial-intranasal coverage with a laser-like irradiance.
Its weighted geometry targets critical brain networks and deep structures through dual pathways, offering a level of precision and power that exceeds traditional near infrared light therapy helmets.

Some background, I’m an MD that’s open to experimenting with other forms of modalities. I know that light energy has an effect on the body because of my personal experience with using (weak) lasers to treat hair loss and wounds. I was open to trying brain PBM and initially started with a helmet design from another company, it worked on hair loss but I didn’t feel like it had an effect on my brain. I did a bit more research and found the Vielight device. I liked how their modules had a lot of power density and contact with the scalp. Inflexible helmet designs do NOT suit the different variations of head sizes. Hair follicles are a major issue with helmet designs as well. Vielight’s headset is far better suited, along with the nasal canula which is an interesting take on reaching the vmPFC.
After around 7 months of experimentation and using the different modes before I start my day or winding down my brain at night, I can say this device has had a positive impact on my life.
If they could produce a cheaper model for the masses, this would GREATLY improve many more lives. Vielight, please consider a cheaper option for regular people.

gamma in the morning, alpha in the evening, 15 minutes per session seems to help with powering and depowering. as a busy dad that lives a full life, it’s that extra boost I need to face a weekday and watching it at night seems to make me so sleepy, i fall asleep 1 hour earlier vs last year.

As a biohacker, I am always looking for ways to improve my mental performance and relax. And while I do not know a lot about brain stimulation devices, I am really happy with the results from Neuro Duo. I can definitely tell that it made my creativity better, helped me to process information quicker and overall boosted my performance. It has been a lifesaver for me these past few weeks at work!

I’m an engineering grad student and I use both modes to help with my studies and stress management daily, it’s useful. I wish this device was cheaper though. My dad, being a doctor, saw the value in this and paid half.

Photobiomodulation is a form of therapy that I’ve followed for awhile. I’ve used photobiomodulation all the way back when it was still known as low level light therapy. Speaking from years of running a vet clinic in a busy town, I’ve used lasers to treat animal wounds with great success. I definitely believe it has an effect on the brain and mitochondria if the light energy is able to get through the bone and skin. I like how Vielight is able to produce 100 mW/cm^2 from LEDs, that’s quite remarkable given that the competition only churns out 10-15 mW at best. 4/5 stars because I think it should be cheaper.

I love the engineering and science behind this device. However, I’ve been testing it for 3 months now and can only feel a slight difference between the Alpha and Gamma modes. I share this device with my wife and she swears by them. Personally, I would opt for the Neuro Gamma which is a little cheaper and backed by more research than the Alpha. 4 stars because I wish the Alpha/Gamma effect was stronger.. at least for me!

ok some preface, I’m not young and I used to be a teacher. not sure if it’s placebo but I noticed that I’m recalling names and words faster than before. my speech started slurring after I hit 60 but now I feel like I’m back to being eloquent. either way, I’m happy that this device is convenient and easy to use, my son helped me set it up but using it is a breeze while I watch tv

I don’t much on my head when the device is active which is a huge plus. My spectrometer is pumping our some insane numbers for an LED. As an engineer, I admire the engineering behind this device, to be able to generate so much power without heat. My only issue is the price, hence only 4 stars. I wish this device was slightly cheaper but I have an idea of the type of diodes Vielight uses and these go for $200-300 per diode on a non-bulk basis.. so the cost basis would probably be around $1500 if I were to make them myself

initially, my husband and I should’ve bought the cheaper Neuro Gamma for memory and we were past the 6 month satisfaction guarantee period. however, we decided to give the alpha mode a try and we definitely feel the difference in effects between both modes.
we use the gamma in the morning for brain energy and alpha in the evening to wind down before bed. we bought our own nasal applicators.

OK a few things. 1) This is a very powerful device that works better for me than all the other brain stimulation devices I’ve tried, especially tDCS. 2) The two modes Gamma and Alpha are useful but I feel more of an effect from Gamma than I do from Alpha. 3) You don’t have to follow Vielight’s recommendation of once per day, I use this device twice a day. 4) I’m only giving this 4 stars because I expected higher quality materials for the price.

A useful device for people that care about the health of their brain. I’ve always been sensitive to changes within my cognition as a meditator and I can tell that this device works in a positive way.
However, the form factor is outdated and not stylish. I wish Vielight would improve the appearance of their products.

I bought this device for my elderly grandfather and I have seen an improvement in his memory and gait. He uses the Gamma mode. My grandmother is healthy but uses it for her Brain wellness. Go grans!
We’ve had it for 5 years now and it’s still functioning well. Only the nasal cord needed to be replaced last year.
Thanks Vielight!

I bought the vielight neuro duo for general Brain wellness improvement, and I use gamma in the morning and alpha in the evening for brain modulation. Both modes work well.

strange but very helpful device for my cognition. my brain took a big hit 15 years ago after a bike accident and I’m truly happy with the results I’m seeing. I shift the diodes around in a non-standard arrangement in multiple sessions to cover the entire brain.. doing that seems to work better vs just the standard suggested default node network arrangemtn.
gautan galyas utd (verified owner) –
superb device for brain pbm because it combines the intranasal portion, which I think does the trick. I shaved my hair (didn’t have a lot of it anyways) to maximize surface contact with the LED diodes. I’m very happy with my purchase, it helps my memory at 70

I received an invitation by email to write a review, so here it is. This device is on the pricier side but I share it with all my family members, so it is well worth it. There are 5 people in my family. I use the Gamma mode for my mother’s memory issues and the Alpha mode for my father, who has anger issues from a TBI he suffered a decade ago. My two brothers use it as well.
If you intend on sharing this device, follow Vielight’s advice and sterilize the nasal applicator between uses.

I purchased the Neuro Duo and it’s a great investment so far. I have seen an improvement in my energy levels and cognitive abilities since using the device. I accidentally damage dhte nasal probe but vielight replaced it while it wa sstill under warranty. Merci Vielight!

I recently bought the Vielight Neuro for my father, who has been suffering from memory loss due to age. I was skeptical at first, but after only a few weeks of use, I could already see an improvement in his cognitive abilities. He is now able to remember things more easily and recall information quickly. The Vielight Neuro is an excellent device and totally worth the price tag!

promising technology but a bit too strong. perhaps I’m a very sensitive individual. I combine this with methylene blue hbot and organic supplements and I think it augments the effects. I’m trying to stave off acuity damaging effects from a young age and I think I wasted my money getting the Duo, I only like the Alpha mode. the Gamma mode is too strong fo rme. either way, great device and way better than the chinese junk floating around the market, I like how vielight designs and manufactures their own proprietary technology.

This device worked for my father’s mental clarity but I’m only giving it 3 stars because it is very expensive. I understand that Vielight funds a lot of research but they should find a way to make it cheaper.

quite an impressive but clunnky looking device. I was introduced to do this by Wayne Hulon, a psychotherapist, and think that this form of neurotechnology has a long way to go. the focus on the Default Mode Network was an interesting take and I’m interested to see how this stacks up vs my TDCS machine. I’ve been using this on myself for the past 3 months and have been switching the gamma and alpha modes as instructed by vielight, 10 mins in the morning and 10 mins in the evening. I feel an uplift in my mood and my stress has gone down.

Owning my own brain photobiomodulation device has been on my radar for awhile after loaning my friend’s Vielight Gamma for a week. I decided to step up and get the Alpha mode too. I definitely feel the difference in brain modulating effects that it brings from an energizing or calming perspective.

I recently started using the Neuro Duo in my chiropractic office and it has been a great addition for my practice. Its easy-to-use interface and non-invasive stimulation have proven to be effective but the comfort level varies from client to client. Hence. only the 4 stars. If vielight could design a more comfortable and less scary looking variant in the future, i’d be more comfortable recommending this to ANYONE. Someone mentioned they think they’re being assimilated as a Borg from Star Trek. The inherent safety of the LEDs make it a great and safe add on to any office’s toolbox. Highly recommend by signing up for their reseller’s program if you’re a practitioner.

An interesting device, can’t say I believed in brain photobiomodulation until I tried it for myself. I didn’t feel any effects for a few weeks but after, I’ve noticed much better mental clarity and I’m sleeping better at night.
Only 4 stars because I feel like the device could be made to look sleeker for the price point. It looks cool but weird.

nothing but good things to say about this device, I purchased it for my father-in-law and it has worked wonders for his rest and cognition

I use this on my patients to improve their mental acuity in a non-traditional way. I’m into integrative medicine and take a holistic approach to viewing my patients, especially in California where people tend to be a bit more open-minded. I’m impressed with the results I’m seeing with Vielight – it’s not revolutionary as I have used lasers in the past but it’s certainly cheaper than the other options out there and far more effective.

I didn’t feel much initially for the first 3 weeks and was considering a refund. However, I decided to try it for 2 more weeks and I’m thankful I didn’t return it. I don’t quite feel a difference between Gamma and Alpha but my wife does. However, where I feel a difference is in my long-covid symptoms. This nasal applicator is fantastic, I believe that’s where the difference came from. My sense of smell is back and my brain fog is gone. I only use the Gamma mode but I’m not returning the device, I’m too grateful.

This is a very powerful and well-made device, I found about it on the Ben Greenfield podcast. I use it every morning pre-workout to energize my brain and in the evening to relax after a long day at the office.

I work as a neurofeedback specialist and have the privilege of working with Autistic children. This device seems to improve their qEEG and other scores from baseline over several weeks. I’m fascinated by its application and focus on the DMN. I’ve since resold 4 of these to their parents. You can also adjust the headbands to target different brain networks.

I’m happy with my purchase of this device. I suffer from a TBI and brain fog like symptoms, I missed the clarity of pre-car accident. After using this gadget for a few months on Alpha and Gamma mode, I’ve experienced a big improvement in my thinking ability. I used to struggle with maintaining my attention for extended periods but I’m much better now.
The device itself is quite user-friendly and comfortable to use, no complaints. The sessions are quick, non-invasive, and I use the device while driving to work, gotta love the funny stares from drivers around me. I appreciate the thoughtfulness that has gone into designing such an efficient and effective device.

For the first three weeks, I used the Neuro diligently, following the recommended protocols. I chose the Gamma mode, which was said to promote focus, creativity, and peak mental performance. However, I couldn’t say I noticed any significant changes during that period. It left me questioning my decision to invest in this device.
Thought of returning it for a refund after all, if it wasn’t delivering the promised results, what was the point of keeping it? But something inside me urged me to give it a little more time, to explore its potential fully. So, I made up my mind to use it for another two weeks before making a final decision.
As someone with a lot of head injuries from my time as a boxer, I felt a significant improvement in my mental clarity and focus, something I hadn’t felt in over 20 years. Highly likely it isn’t placebo as the coincidence is just too high. Sharing my story and woudl recommend anyone at least trial this device for 6 months for the 80% money back guarantee.

I can really feel the energy from this device but I wish it was cheaper. It’s a deceivingly powerful device but you have to be careful. I got a headache the first 10 minutes of Gamma.. this is after I started with a Vielight Neuro Alpha device before purchasing the Duo and returning the ALpha.
