35 results about "Photostimulation" patented technology

Photostimulation is the use of light to artificially activate biological compounds, cells, tissues, or even whole organisms. Photostimulation can be used to noninvasively probe various relationships between different biological processes, using only light. In the long run, photostimulation has the potential for use in different types of therapy, such as migraine headache. Additionally, photostimulation may be used for the mapping of neuronal connections between different areas of the brain by “uncaging” signaling biomolecules with light. Therapy with photostimulation has been called light therapy, phototherapy, or photobiomodulation.

The neuromorphic photoelectric device comprises a substrate, a bottom electrode, a first zinc oxide layer, a second zinc oxide layer and a top electrode which are stacked in sequence.

The oxygen vacancy of the first zinc oxide layer introduces an impurity energy level into a forbidden band, so that the impurity energy level generates an infrared signal according to the infrared ray. Due to the fact that the built-in electric field of the heterojunction enables carriers to be separated, the intensity of infrared signals is enhanced, and the infrared signals are easier to detect. And the second zinc oxide layer can directly absorb and generate an ultraviolet signal, so that the photoelectric device with the neuromorphic structure provided by the invention can simultaneously detect ultraviolet rays and infrared rays on the basis of simulating nerve synapse.
