<strong>Engineering</strong> Interfaces with<br />

Neuronal Populations<br />

Dr. Shy Shoham<br />

Traditional approaches to neural engineering are severely limited by<br />

the biological compatibility, stability and invasiveness <strong>of</strong> electrodes.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se limitations effect many medical and neuroscientific applications.<br />

Our approach relies on the design <strong>of</strong> massively parallel optical<br />

interfaces for non-contact stimulation or recording <strong>of</strong> populations <strong>of</strong><br />

neurons.
