Soft subdermal implant capable of wireless battery charging and programmable controls for applications in optogenetics

Although wireless optogenetic technologies enable brain circuit investigation in freely moving animals, existing devices have limited their full potential, requiring special power setups. Here, the authors report fully implantable optogenetic systems that allow intervention-free wireless charging an...
