•We examine the effect of photobiomodulation on brain activity using fMRI.•Photobiomodulation had no effect on cerebral blood flow or resting state activity.•After finger-tapping, photobiomodulation resulted in reduction in brain activity.•Affected regions were putamen, primary somatosensory and par...
