WEF I-Han Chou Brief Explanation of Optogenetics Brain Control
Optogenetics is the ability to manipulate brain control in individual neuronal circuits, refining our vision as a function of individual circuits and how they relate to different aspects of our behavior and of our personality. I’m going to give you a few examples of what’s been done with this blue light technology so far.
Optogenetics Blue Light Technology Experimental Brain Control on a Rat
The basal ganglia is a part of your brain that is damaged in Parkinson’s disease. This part of the brain contains many kinds of neurons and they’re all intermingled. If you activate a certain subset of them with blue light optogenetics, you can make a rat freeze up and have difficulty walking. If you activate a different subset, the rats start moving faster.

They take light-sensitive proteins from very humble species, such as algae that you find in the pond, and put them into another animal, such as a rat or a mouse. This gives you the ability to control the activity of your brain cells just by shining light on them.
Wacko at Ted Talk Explains in More Detail Blue Light Technology Brain Control
An amazing new technique called optogenetics that was developed at Stanford University in Palo Alto in California. Implant a virus into a particular area of the brain. If you direct blue light. They will activate.
