I have said this before in HN, but I'll repeat myself: don't trust this study.
The Valkee company is financially backed by ex-Nokia execs and other people with money and influence in Finland. They have the means to get a small University in Northern Finland to make a study in their favor.
There have been interesting studies about light sensivity in the skin, so why not the brain. However, this study doesn't really prove anything.
Also, don't underestimate the value of placebo in the treatment of mental ailments.
- JoeAltmaier 15y agoRight! So even as a $185 placebo, its good medicine?
- exDM69 15y agoThe $185 price probably contributes to the placebo effect. It was expensive so it _must_ work.
