Lostfalco got back to me via PM. Basically he showed me the math and said that 5 mW is pretty low in comparison to the studies that are out there for TBI. You need about 13.3 J/cm^2 which if you were to concentrate the 5 mW into one cm^2 square, it would take approximately 13.3/.005/60=44.3 minutes to charge up that one spot, so about all day I'd be charging up my brain and into the next at that pace. Basically, it would be way efficient to get an infrared array used for infrared cameras. It would take only 5.9 minutes to charge up 60 square centimeters and is literally a third of the cost of the Vityas laser.
The wavelengths are in the right range, but basically, yeah, I'm doing it wrong.
Hey Devin, it's totally cool if you want to post the PM.
The equation for calculating dose is Energy (in Joules) = Power (in Watts) x time (in seconds)...ie. E(J/cm^2) = P(W/cm^2) x t(s)
Here's the PM if anyone interested.
"So here are the specs on the Vityas.
Laser radiation power of the red bandwidth (650 nm) - 5mW Laser radiation power of the infrared bandwidth (810-880 nm)
- 5mW
5mW is pretty weak. Even the affordable infrared camera devices I recommend are more powerful than this...and cheaper. Have you looked into the 48 and 96 arrays? http://www.lostfalco.com/devices/
Here's how to dose the 96 LED array if you want to match the scientific studies.

The wavelengths he uses aren't bad though. Here are all of the wavelengths that have been used in the human studies. http://www.lostfalco...in-enhancement/
