gollark: You mention near-infrared, which is apparently absorbed somewhat less than other wavelengths by skin and such, but based on my 30 second duckduckgo search it's still scattered and absorbed a decent amount by that and probably is blocked by the skull, which is where the brain is.
gollark: In any case, would most lasers *not* just be blocked by the skull and not interact with brain tissue anyway?
gollark: This is probably more of an issue for neuroscientists than... people with lasers.
