Multichannel Optogenetic Stimulation and Inhibition
20190099600 · 2019-04-04 ·

Optogenetic signal processing is described for an auditory prosthesis with an intracochlear array of optical stimulation sources implanted in a patient having auditory neurons genetically modified with light sensitive ion channels. Stimulation timing signals are generated for the corresponding auditory neurons for each band pass signal based on characteristic temporal fine structure features of the band pass signals. The stimulation timing signals include: i. one or more channel opening signals adapted to open the ion channels of the corresponding auditory neurons, and ii. one or more channel closing signals adapted to close the ion channels of the corresponding ion channels. Optical stimulation signals are then produced for the optical stimulation sources based on the stimulation timing signals.

Light irradiation apparatus

A light irradiation apparatus includes first and second light sources that emit first light and second light, respectively. The first and the second lights have mutually different wavelengths at timings close to each other, regardless of overlap between the first light and the second light. The first light has a wavelength band for inducing destruction of bacteria by damaging a cell of the bacteria as the first light acts on a photosensitizer present in the bacteria. The second light has a wavelength band for inducing the destruction of the bacteria by changing the structure of a genetic material present in the cell of the bacteria. A dose of the second light source is less than 1/10 of a dose of the first light source.
