The Neuro Duo from Vielight, pioneers of brain photobiomodulation, is the secret weapon of world champions like UFC titleholder Ilia Topuria and elite sports teams worldwide. Backed by science and shown to enhance mental performance, creativity, and “in-the-zone” focus, this safe, at-home device is now available to the public.

Tom Holmoe, Associate Athletic Director at BYU and 3× Super Bowl champion, stated:
“After reviewing early photobiomodulation research led by Professor Lisa Wilde at the University of Utah’s Neurology Department, and working with our own performance research team led by Dr. Coleby Clawson, we’ve seen compelling evidence—enough to include the Vielight Neuro Duo as standard equipment for our football team during the 2024 season.”

Why does Ilia use Vielight?

Ilia uses Vielight technology (specifically the Neuro Duo and MIP) because Vielight technology is supported by the most published studies in the field of brain photobiomodulation. Specific to contact sports, the Neuro was utilized in performance and TBI research clinical studies at the University of Utah with significant results.

Since our inception in 2010, we’ve been dedicated to engineering and equipping individuals with cutting-edge photobiomodulation technology for home use while also spearheading scientific advancements.

As pioneers in the development of home-use brain photobiomodulation technology, we proudly hold the leading position in industry patents, spanning from AI to neuromodulation.

Through our patented brain-systemic photobiomodulation technology, we’ve showcased its effectiveness in independent pilot studies and clinical trials, particularly in treating severe conditions.
