We present a cost-effective optogenetic experimental setup for investigation of synaptic gating (neuron gate). The setup consists of a cell illuminating system containing a common micro-display of a commercial word processor and light emitting diode (LED) semiconductor materials instead of optogenetic cells. The performance is verified by illuminating the LED materials and measuring the induced electric potential.
