摘要: A method of stimulating neurons present in a living body is disclosed. The comprises directing light to an artificial absorbing medium implanted extracellularly at target location having the therein, wherein wavelengths and intensities are selected so as heat by absorption. heating sufficient stimulate nearby medium. In some embodiments, spatially modulating encode stimulation pattern therein.
