  • WIRELESS NEUROMODULATION VIA MICROWAVE SPLIT RING RESONATOR
    Publication number: 20230140692
    Abstract: A system for neuromodulation includes a split-ring resonator (SRR) comprising a resonance circuit, the SRR being implantable in a cranial target site and a source of microwave signals, wherein the microwave signals are deliverable wirelessly to couple with the SRR to produce a localized electrical field, wherein the localized electrical field inhibits one or more neurons at the cranial target site with submillimeter spatial precision.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 27, 2022
    Publication date: May 4, 2023
    Applicant: Trustees of Boston University
    Inventors: Chen Yang, Ji-Xin Cheng, Nan Zheng, Yueming Li, Ying Jiang, Lu Lan, Carolyn Marar
