Two light-sensitive proteins from unicellular organisms have been harnessed to rapidly activate or silence neurons. This optical remote control allows precise, millisecond control of neural circuits.

The design of the circuit can be used to create a traffic light wherein twenty open collector that turns ON one at a time in a continuous sequential manner. The 74LSxx family of TTL integrated logic ...

Advances in methods that allow targeted remote control of neuronal activity open new possibilities for investigating and manipulating the function of neuronal circuits in vivo. The group of Michael ...

Imagine the brain as a giant switchboard covered with thousands of buttons, knobs, dials and levers that control aspects of our thought, emotions, behavior, and memory. (You can think of the movie ...

Scientists can control brain circuits, behavior, and emotion using light. Researchers developed a new optogenetic tool, 'Opto-vTrap', which is expected to contribute to treatment for epilepsy, muscle ...

Emergency vehicle in the Berlin-Moabit test area. From now on, three police vehicles and two fire engines in Berlin will be testing the traffic light control system specially developed for them for ...

Any time you are working with burglar alarm, access control, sound, nurse call, or intercom systems, as well as computer networks, lighting dimmer controls, and low-voltage industrial controls, you ...

This light activated remote switch circuit could be operated using a flashlight beam and could eb used for toggling a specified load from a distance using an external light source such as a flashlight ...

When we moved into our new home — a major fixer-upper — I thought it wasn’t cozy because of the arctic-blue painted walls (everywhere) and swirly brown 1970s carpets. And sure, the décor wasn’t ...
