TL;DR: It is shown how three adaptations of the implant allow for untethered optogenetic control throughout the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerve endings) of behaving mice.

TL;DR: A wireless powering method is reported that overcomes the challenge of energy transfer beyond superficial depths in tissue by inducing spatially focused and adaptive electromagnetic energy transport via propagating modes in tissue and is used to power a tiny electrostimulator that is orders of magnitude smaller than conventional pacemakers.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the phased surfaces can wirelessly transfer energy across anatomically heterogeneous tissues in large animal models, powering miniaturized semiconductor devices deep within the body (>4 cm) and regulating cardiac rhythm by poweringminiaturized stimulators at multiple endocardial sites in a porcine animal model.

TL;DR: The miniaturized integration of a wireless powering system in soft neuromodulation device is reported and high performance is demonstrated during in vivo wireless stimulation of the vagus nerve in a porcine animal model, establishing the clinical potential of wireless powering for emerging therapies based on neurommodulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach for wirelessly powering implantable stimulators using electromagnetic midfield is presented. But it is not suitable for in vivo optogenetic stimulation, as it requires optical fibers or mounted prosthesis.
