Figure 1. Infrared Control of Excitable Tissues (ICE-T).

Figure 1

The diagram shows different categories of ICE-T. ICE-T is defined as thermally-induced infrared light activation or inhibition of cardiac or neural tissue. Infrared neural stimulation (INS) was first discovered in 200512,13, while infrared neural inhibition was discovered in 2012.14,15 Optical pacing was discovered in 2010,16 while infrared cardiac inhibition was first demonstrated in 2016.10
