This paper reviews the existing research on infrared neural stimulation, a means of
artificially stimulating neurons that has been proposed as an alternative to electrical …

A novel method for damage-free, artifact-free stimulation of neural tissue using pulsed, low-
energy infrared laser light is presented. Optical stimulation elicits compound nerve and …

The traditional approach to modulating brain function (in both clinical and basic science
applications) is to tap into the neural circuitry using electrical currents applied via implanted …

Low-intensity, pulsed infrared light provides a novel nerve stimulation modality that avoids
the limitations of traditional electrical methods such as necessity of contact, presence of a …

Our capacity to interface with the nervous system remains overwhelmingly reliant on
electrical stimulation devices, such as electrode arrays and cuff electrodes that can stimulate …

Infrared neural stimulation (INS) has been well characterized in the peripheral nervous
system, and has been shown to enable stimulation with high spatial precision and without …

For more than a century, the traditional method of stimulating neural activity has been based
on electrical methods, and it remains the gold standard to date. We report a technological …

Electrical stimulation has been used for decades in devices such as pacemakers, cochlear
implants and more recently for deep brain and retinal stimulation and electroceutical …

Infrared neural stimulation (INS) has been proposed as an alternative method to electrical
stimulation because of its spatial selective stimulation. Independent of the mechanism for …

Infrared neural stimulation (INS) is a neurostimulation modality that uses pulsed infrared
light to evoke artifact-free, spatially precise neural activity with a noncontact interface; …
