Abstract: The present invention is directed to enhanced methods of treating brain disorders, and devices suitable to implement these methods. In particular, the methods of treatment and related devices of the present invention utilize the coordinated application of negative suppressive stimulation of the brain hemisphere with the more negative valence in combination with transcranially applied light energy to the lateral forehead to activate the underlying cortex of the brain hemisphere with the more positive valence, e.g., synergistically. In addition, such methods and devices may be suitable to address co-morbid brain disorders (e.g., psychiatric disorder co-morbid with depression) in a more effective manner.

Abstract: Methods for treating psychiatric disorders using light energy are disclosed herein. A method for treating psychiatric disorders using light energy includes determining which hemisphere of the brain requires treatment using lateral visual field stimulation (LVFS) and applying light energy to the hemisphere of the brain to treat the psychiatric disorder other than depression. In an embodiment, light energy may include near infrared light (NIR). The methods of the present disclosure may be used to treat a variety of psychiatric disorders. In an embodiment, the methods may be used to treat a psychiatric disorder co-morbid with depression.

Abstract: Therapeutic glasses for changing the psychological state of a user and a method for using the glasses are disclosed. The therapeutic glasses include at least one lens of a size sufficient to cover an eye of the user, wherein at least one lens restricts vision to a lateral visual field. The method includes wearing the glasses for a sufficient period of time, thereby stimulating the user to achieve a change in the psychological state of the user.
