Wirelessly powered implants that stimulate nerves in mice

Title seems misleading.<p><pre><code> with a newly developed technique for wirelessly powering *implanted* devices </code></pre> This is not a method of remotely hacking the central nervous system. Rather: &quot;Stanford engineers develop method to wirelessly power implants that stimulate nerves in mice&quot;

shahryc, thanks for posting (and reposting) this story. It&#x27;s some fascinating research. The paper in &quot;<i>Physical Review Applied</i>&quot; (linked in article) is paywalled, but there is a pre-print version available here:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;1503.01493" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;1503.01493</a>

For those who would like background on Karl Deisseroth, whose lab is involved in this work, I recommend this New Yorker article:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.newyorker.com&#x2F;magazine&#x2F;2015&#x2F;05&#x2F;18&#x2F;lighting-the-brain" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.newyorker.com&#x2F;magazine&#x2F;2015&#x2F;05&#x2F;18&#x2F;lighting-the-br...</a>

Aw, I thought they&#x27;d invented the tasp.[1]<p>[1]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Wirehead_(science_fiction)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Wirehead_(science_fiction)</a>
