Chip-scale Photonic Processing Neuroprosthetic Detector
A novel technology for optimizing visual prosthetics for individuals with foveal blindness. Background: The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness expects 196 million people to suffer from macular degeneration worldwide in 2020. Millions more will suffer from traumatic ocular injury or glaucoma or other foveal defects. The result will...

Chromatic Bioluminescence as a Cellular Level Readout System of Neural Activity
This technique could be used to visualize neuronal activity in the brain, in nerves, or in ex vivo systems. Background: Some compounds can emit luminescence in response to changes in intracellular ion concentrations. Neuronal depolarization, and the generation of an action potential, involves an elevation in intracellular calcium, which causes the...
