Cohen-Karni neuron stimulation research featured in multiple outlets

Research by BME/MSE’s Tzahi Cohen-Karni was featured in Florida News Times, as well as Knowledia, Asian Share, and Flipboard. It involves stimulating nerves with light and stands to better our understanding of how the brain functions, as well as improving neurological disorder treatment. “The really unique thing about the materials I use in my lab is that I don’t have to use high energy pulses to get effective stimulation,” said Cohen-Karni. “By shining a short p>ulse of light, we found that the DRG-MXene interface successfully modified the cell electrophysiology.”/p>
