A neural interface for a cortical vision prosthesis
Vision Research, 1999 The development of a cortically based vision prosthesis has been hampered by a lack of basic experiments on phosphene psychophysics. This basic research has been hampered by the lack of a means to safely stimulate large numbers of cortical neurons. Recently, a number of laboratories have developed arrays of silicon microelectrodes that could enable ...

Metaheuristic Optimisation Algorithms for Tuning a Bioinspired Retinal Model
Sensors, 2019 A significant challenge in neuroscience is understanding how visual information is encoded in the retina. Such knowledge is extremely important for the purpose of designing bioinspired sensors and artificial retinal systems that will, in so far as may be

Cochlear implantation in children and adults in Switzerland
Swiss Medical Weekly, 2014 The cochlear implant (CI) is one of the most successful neural prostheses developed to date. It offers artificial hearing to individuals with profound sensorineural hearing loss and with insufficient benefit from conventional hearing aids.

The Vestibular Implant Input Interacts with Residual Natural Function
Frontiers in Neurology, 2017 ObjectivePatients with bilateral vestibulopathy (BV) can still have residual “natural” function. This might interact with “artificial” vestibular implant input (VI-input). When fluctuating, it could lead to vertigo attacks.

Neural network control of a neural prosthesis to assist with gait for people with muscle weakness [PDF]
, 2021 Studies show that about 1.7% of the US population live with some sort of paralysis which can reduce muscle function. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been widely used in the biomedical field to increase the functionality of atrophied muscles ...
