Microwaves can penetrate up to 50 mm into the brain noninvasively and have been shown to modulate neuronal activity via a primarily nonthermal mechanism. This work presents an implantable split-ring resonator device for wireless, high-precision inhibition of neurons using microwaves. The device is applied in vitro and in an in vivo mouse model of epilepsy.
