Optical Characterization of Pulsed Infrared Light Evoked Cortical Brain Activity

Infrared neural stimulation (INS) uses pulsed infrared light to directly stimulate neural tissue with high spatiotemporal precision and is well documented for peripheral nerve applications; however, prior to this dissertation, INS had not been demonstrated for the central nervous system. This disser...
