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 …

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 …

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 …

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 new method for in vivo neural activation using low-intensity, pulsed infrared light exhibits
advantages over standard electrical means by providing contact-free, spatially selective …

Abstract Background and Objective Transient optical nerve stimulation is a promising new
non‐contact, spatially precise, artifact‐free neural excitation technique useful in research …

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 …

Background Modulation of brain circuits by electrical stimulation has led to exciting and
powerful therapies for diseases such as Parkinson's. Because human brain organization is …

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