Shining a Light in the Brain: The Neurophotonics Revolution

About this episode

A deep dive into how light is being used to watch, stimulate, and control neural activity. We explore optogenetics, advanced light delivery (fibers, microLEDs, OLEDs), and the physics of getting photons deep into tissue, including upconversion nanoparticles. From tiny wireless chips to multimodal interfaces, we unpack the engineering breakthroughs and the potential for new treatments—plus the challenges and what the field might mean for the future of neuroscience.
