Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure relates to a system for using a light signal (e.g., an infrared (IR) light signal) for long-term modulation of peripheral nerve activity. Light generated with parameters (including intensity and time) can be applied to a peripheral nerve to achieve a target biological response. The target biological response can extend for a period after the light is applied. For example, when the light is applied for short period of time (e.g., 20 seconds), the target biological response can extend for a long period of time (e.g., over one hour).
