Prof. Orit Shefi won the United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation BSF grant, in collaboration with Prof. Xiangfan Chen of the Arizona State University. Their joint research is focusing on the development of  interfaces to the nervous system that will enable remote stimulation of neural cells by usage of magnetic fields. With these devices they will be able to stimulate neurons remotely. The research involves creation of new smart material types and implantable components.
