How does the PSD stimulate cells without damaging or physically touching them?
The PSD uses a phenomenon called the Photoconductive Stimulation Effect. It is based in the principle that when visible light strikes silicon in combination with a specific current, a local field potential is generated. This LFP is what causes the cell to depolarize noninvasively without causing any damage to the cell.
