Came across this video about "optogenetics"
controlling the brain with light
ultra violet light damages your skin
RED light is much safer, also penetrates the tissue much better
which allows you to control much larger brain areas
"we would like to have different colors to control different circuits
all at the same time"
"viruses are our allies in that we can package the opsins DNA
into a virus and inject it into a very local brain area"
