Abstract
An example photoacoustic system for neurostimulation includes a light producing device for producing light of a specific wavelength. At least one nanotransducer is binded on a surface of a neuron. The nanotransducer converts the light with the specific wavelength into at least one acoustic wave at or near the neuron.
