Optical techniques offer the spatial resolution and the contrast necessary to locate and measure neuronal activity. We have developed optical fiber technology for creating miniature micro-optical devices by leveraging many standard practices from the telecommunication industry which can serve as non-invasive implantable devices to exploit the above modalities for continuous monitoring of spinal cord activity and structure from the peridural space. With these devices, the surgeon can obtain critical information during the surgery to implant the spinal cord stimulator for chronic.

光学技术提供了定位和测量神经元活动所需的空间分辨率和对比度。我们有 开发的光纤技术，通过利用许多来自 电信业可以作为非侵入性植入性设备来利用上述模式 从硬膜外间隙连续监测脊髓活动和结构。有了这些设备，外科医生可以 在手术中获取关键信息以植入脊髓刺激器治疗慢性脊髓损伤。
