Summary

This study tested a special light helmet (called tPBM) on 6 autistic children aged 4–12 who also had abnormal brain activity or epilepsy. The helmet delivered near-infrared light to specific brain areas twice a week for 10 weeks. The goal was to see if it could safely improve focus, eye contact, speech, behavior, and daily skills. Researchers measured changes using standard autism rating scales and brain wave tests.
