   	\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
   	\bibliography{Optogenetics}

   to the position where the references should be placed.
3. create file Optogenetics.bib with the following content:

   	@electronic{Deisseroth2006,
   	author = "Michael Shell",
   	title = "{IEEE}tran Homepage",
   	url = "http://www.michaelshell.org/tex/ieeetran/",
   	year = "2007"

fix:
replaced procedure #2 with:

	\bibliography{Optogenetics}
	\bibliographystyle{plain}

tried executing and it worked, .bib file loads perfectly. reverted to the code as written in procedure #2 (using IEEEtrans style) and the error no longer appeared, can't figure out why. i think it also helped that i restarted the editor but i'm not really sure.
