  "summary": "Optogenetics is an invaluable technique in neuroscience to study brain circuits, but conventional optogenetic systems use tethered approaches to deliver light to the brain which can hinder natural behavior. Optoelectronic advances led to the development of wireless optical stimulators for optogenetics experiments, but most reported devices have low widespread use due to complex builds and reduced…",
