The programme included a dialogue on new approaches to the optogenetic neuronal control. This round-table included speakers Valentina Emiliani (The Vision Institute, Paris), Maria Pia Cosma (CRG, ICREA), Ernest Giralt (IRB Barcelona), and Michael Krieg (ICFO). Edward Boyden (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) was another confirmed speaker but was unfortunately unable to participate due to last minute logistical issues. Michael Krieg gave an introduction to the optogenetics technique in Boyden’s place.
