Optogenetic protocol design requires domain expertise that a general-purpose programmer would systematically get wrong. Selecting an opsin is not like selecting a software library — it requires understanding photocycle kinetics, ion selectivity, spectral overlap, expression toxicity, and the biophysics of light propagation through neural tissue. A naive approach risks tissue damage from heating, silencing neurons...
