Ada Poon, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the university, says a device in the field of optogenetics could pave the way of utilizing the wireless technology. Optogenetics involves use of light to control activities in the brain.

The device in question is a fully implantable one, powered by wireless energy resonating through the test subject's body. The device, developed by engineers at Bio-X, Stanford University's interdisciplinary biosciences institute, has so far been used in mice and has successfully delivered optogenetic nerve stimulation.

Researchers made it possible to stimulate the brain nerves in mice and get rid of the long wire hookups. The device could one day be use for betterment of the humanity.

Stanford University researchers previously surprised by making an announcement that its researchers have fabricated cheaper narcotics from bioengineered yeast. They have once again amazed us revealing the wirelessly controllable laboratory mouse.

Scientists have been continuously making progress in optogenetic research on mice, gaining important information about Parkinson's tremors. Moreover, they have gathered significant data about potential stroke treatment and the mechanism behind the pain.

Poon is behind the development of the device, but she didn't know much about how to build the chamber to store and amplify energy from radio frequency.

The design of the power source available from the public was used because the device can be reconfigured for different uses.

These applications have great potential to improve mental disorders, mobility disorders and organ disease.
