Infrared light has been shown to activate peripheral nerves in vivo using pulsed laser light;
however, translation of infrared neural stimulation (INS) to the central nervous system …

Pulsed infrared light has shown promise as an alternative to electrical stimulation in
applications where contact free or high spatial precision stimulation is desired. Infrared …

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 …

Infrared neural stimulation (INS) is a promising neurostimulation technique that can activate
neural tissue with high spatial precision and without the need for exogenous agents …

The neurostimulation market is one of the fastest growing sectors of the medical device
industry. This is primarily due to both an increasing patient population and recent advances …

Neuronal responses to infrared neural stimulation (INS) are explored at the single cell level
using patch-clamp electrophysiology. We examined membrane and synaptic responses of …

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 …

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 …

Infrared neural stimulation (INS) is an alternative neurostimulation modality that uses pulsed
infrared light to evoke spatially precise neural activity that does not require direct contact …

Transient electrical impulses are conventionally used to elicit physiological responses in
excitable tissues. While electrical stimulation has many advantages, it requires an electrode …
