Augmenting Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Major Depressive Disorder With Transcranial Infrared Laser Stimulation

Additional research that pairs neuroenhancement methods such as TILS with cognitive interventions may reveal the potential to improve treatment outcomes in depression and other psychiatric disorders.
