​우리 연구실 석사 졸업생 안유진의 연구결과가 신경공학분야 국제저명학술지  Journal of Neural Engineering 에 게재승인 되었습니다.  이 연구는 최신 신경공학 분야의 화두인 closed-loop neural control 을 우리 연구실에서 개발한 열플라즈모닉 광열신경자극 기술에 적용하여 신경세포의 발화율을 정밀하게 제어할 수 있음을 보인 연구입니다. 

Yujin An's work on the application of closed-loop neural control to thermoplasmonic neural stimulation technique is now accepted in Journal of Neural Engineering. We showed for the first time that the thermoplasmonic neural inhibition mechanism can be used to precisely control neural firing rates in real time. This is open lots of new possibilities for our thermoplasmonic neural stimulation technique.
