| kanzure | "our recent publication entitled "Combined optical tweezers and laser dissector for controlled ablation of functional connections in neural networks", which appeared in the Journal of Biomedical Optics 16(5): 051306-051309, DOI: 10.1117/1.3560268. .." | 05:50 |
| kanzure | "We present the design and exemplary applications of a versatile setup that allows the simultaneous stimulation and manipulation of a neural network while acquiring its activity by MEA electrophysiology and calcium imaging." | 05:50 |
| kanzure | "By means of plain or functionalized beads, manipulated in 3D by IR optical tweezers (OTs), the activity of individual neurons can be modulated non-invasively and reversibly. Microsurgery on entire cells, neural connections or subcellular organelles can be performed with a UV laser microdissector (LMD)." | 05:50 |

In the isolated salamander retina, we recorded the spiking responses of ganglion cells to ultrasound and light using an array of 60 electrodes. 40 MHz was delivered from a piezoelectric transducer in saline at a working distance of 4mm. Pulse trains lasting 3-30 microseconds continued for one second, and were presented at a frequency of 0.5 Hz.T | 10:13 |
| kanzure | "Ultrasound responses were stable for 300s, contained ON and OFF transients of different types, and showed sustained activity [...] This indicates that ultrasound stimuli activated some cells downstream of photoreceptors." | 10:14 |
| kanzure | "The effects decayed to half maximal over 300 microns, considerably larger than the ultrasound stimulus focal spot. This laterla spread is within the spatial scale of lateral connections, including those from horizontal and amacrine cells. Ultrasound is thus likely stimulating interneurons within the circuit." | 10:14 |

| kanzure | `"The patient could turn up the stimulator so that it completely stopped their tremors, but at this level they were then unable to speak."

| kanzure | the depth penetration for infrared is abysmal as i recall | 12:55 |

| kanzure | they are using it for neurosurgery (tumors) | 13:20 |

| fenn | that is silly | 13:52 |
| kanzure | ieee array driver article: http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/neuro/ultrasound/Design%20and%20evaluation%20of%20a%20feedback%20based%20phased%20array%20system%20for%20ultrasound%20surgery.pdf | 13:52 |
| kanzure | 1.2-1.8 MHz is a bit too high for our interests | 13:53 |
| fenn | should work for lower frequencies with some fudging | 13:53 |
| kanzure | ok let's do it strap in | 13:54 |
| fenn | i think 1.2 is fine anyway | 13:54 |
| kanzure | yeah that's something that should be experimentally verified first | 13:54 |
| kanzure | from what i've seen for non-ablation you should target <1 MHz | 13:54 |
| fenn | what's the difference? | 13:55 |
| kanzure | melting brain vs. stimulating neurons | 13:55 |
| fenn | no i mean you're targeting a specific locus in either case | 13:55 |
| fenn | the only difference is power, which shouldn't affect the scattering at all | 13:55 |
| fenn | hence why you're reading these papers in the first place, right? | 13:56 |
| kanzure | I KNOW NOTHING | 13:56 |

| kanzure | i was a little disappointed by this paper: | 13:57 |
| kanzure | http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/neuro/ultrasound/Transcranial%20pulsed%20ultrasound%20stimulates%20intact%20brain%20circuits%20-%202010.pdf | 13:57 |
| kanzure | they did stimulation of some mice in vivo | 13:57 |
| kanzure | um, but apparently they didn't test if they could cause real-time twitching | 13:58 |
| -!- eridu [~eridu@gateway/tor-sasl/eridu] has joined ##hplusroadmap | 13:58 | |
| kanzure | they just tested a slice of motor cortex instead | 13:58 |
| kanzure | but did about 50,000+ tests of ultrasound stimulation sessions on mice | 13:58 |
| kanzure | oh wait maybe i misread and they did do it | 13:59 |
| kanzure | "The muscle activity triggered by US stimulation of motor cortex produced EMG responses similar to those acquired during spontaneous muscle twitches (fig. 3A)." | 13:59 |
| kanzure | "When using transducers directly coupled to the skin of mice, bilateral stimulation with transcranial US produced the near-simultaneous activation of several muscle gruops, indicated by tail, forepaw, and whisker movements (Movie S2)." | 14:00 |
| kanzure | "By.. making small 2mm adjjustments to the position of transducers or collimators over motor cortex within a subject, we could differentially evoke the activity of isolated muscle groups (Movie S2)." | 14:01 |
| kanzure | "Despite these intriguing observations, we found it difficult to reliably generate fine maps of mouse motor cortex using US for brain stimulation." | 14:01 |
| kanzure | tail twitches: pulsed US at 0.50 MHz, 100 cycles per pulse, 1.5 kHz, 80 pulses (not sure what PRF means) | 14:03 |
| kanzure | 64.53 mW/cm^2 hmm | 14:03 |
| kanzure | huh wait.. figure 1 does not show an array but rather a simple ultrasound setup. | 14:04 |
| kanzure | er, i mean a collimator | 14:07 |

| kanzure | what has anselm said? | 14:42 |
| fenn | what what? | 14:44 |
| kanzure | he still lives with you right? | 14:44 |
| fenn | yes, we are in different time zones at the moment though | 14:44 |
| kanzure | well that's useless | 14:44 |
| fenn | any specific questions? | 14:45 |
| fenn | actually, tristan ursell is the one doing lots of studies of mechanical stress on lipid bound proteins (such as sodium ion channels) | 14:45 |
| fenn | though lately he's gone off on this crusade to solve the protein folding problem | 14:46 |
| kanzure | every time i see mechanosensativity studies on neurons i think 'so if i punch hard enough i can knock some sense into people?' | 14:46 |
| fenn | millions of tiny punches | 14:46 |
| kanzure | the way of a million flying minifists | 14:47 |
| kanzure | what's bruce lee's thing? the way of the flying fist? | 14:48 |
| fenn | the two inch punch? | 14:48 |
| fenn | one inch punch, sorry | 14:49 |
| kanzure | oh man i can't find this now | 14:50 |
| kanzure | i swear there was someone who studies a martial art technique known as "way of the flying fist" | 14:50 |
| * fenn mumbles something about a martial arts move generator | 14:50 | |
| kanzure | hwarang-do.. the way of flowering man hood | 14:51 |
| kanzure | oh. taekwondo "the way of foot and fist" | 14:52 |
| kanzure | i guess that's close enough | 14:52 |
| kanzure | aha | 14:56 |
