I'm sorry what? I normally accept new science with little objection, but how is pointing a laser at my head going to help my memory?

guess you can't read the article either

No I read the article which is how I know the lazer was shown on the head and not directly into the brain. Did you read it?

Certain wavelengths of light penetrate the skull, in this case at 1,064 nm.

Technically certain wavelengths of light energize the mitochondria in your cells. There's a whole bunch of research about it out there that shows it can speed up healing mainly and even help eyesight. This seems to be along those lines. Google red light therapy, there's a lot of actual science behind it.

Also looking into it more I wonder if you're not seeing dune penetration because if the shortness of wavelengths being used.. I will look into the red light therapy thing, but the other color related light therapies I've looked into (I got down a whole rabbit hole when what green light spectrum helping migraines thing came out) were seemingly down to the brains reaction to perceivng the color

Yeah, near infrared can penetrate bone really easily. Don't hold me to this, but I did read that the folds in the brain are oriented to take advantage of that. The thing about all these wavelengths is that if you get some sun, all of those wavelengths are present naturally. It probably comes down to brightness and dose in some way more than anything. I'm not sure about the green but that sounds kinda interesting.
