Ed Boyden zeigt, wie er durch Einführen von Genen für lichtempfindliche Proteine in Gehirnzellen einzelne Neuronen durch faseroptische Implantate an- und ausschalten kann. Mit einer noch nie da gewesenen Präzision hat er es geschafft, bei Mäusen eine Art PTBS und verschiedene Arten von Blindheit zu heilen. Neurale Protesen sind in Sicht. Der Tagungsmoderator Juan Enriquez hat nach dem Vortrag einige kurze Fragen.

At the MIT Media Lab, Ed Boyden leads the Synthetic Neurobiology Group, which invents technologies to reveal how cognition and emotion arise from brain networks -- and to enable systematic repair of disorders such as epilepsy and PTSD. Full bio »
