Plasticity in the visual system is associated with prosthesis use in phantom limb pain [PDF]
The experience of strong phantom limb pain (PLP) in arm amputees was previously shown to be associated with structural neural plasticity in parts of the cortex that belong to dorsal and ventral visual streams.

Reading visual Braille with a retinal prosthesis [PDF]
Retinal prostheses, which restore partial vision to patients blinded by outer retinal degeneration, are currently in clinical trial. The Argus II retinal prosthesis system was recently awarded CE approval for commercial use in Europe.

Electrode-free visual prosthesis/exoskeleton control using augmented reality glasses in a first proof-of-technical-concept study. [PDF]
In the field of neuroprosthetics, the current state-of-the-art method involves controlling the prosthesis with electromyography (EMG) or electrooculography/electroencephalography (EOG/EEG).

Image Processor for Visual Prosthesis Based on ARM [PDF]
Visual prosthesis is designed and developed to help the blind people to restore vision [1]. Image processor is an essential part of visual prosthesis. It receives image data from a camera, and fulfills specific image processing strategy to transfer image

Visual cortical prosthesis: an electrical perspective [PDF]
The electrical stimulation of the visual cortices has the potential to restore vision to blind individuals. Until now, the results of visual cortical prosthetics has been limited as no prosthesis has restored a full working vision but the field has shown a renewed interest these last years thanks to wireless and technological advances. However, several

Programmable active pixel sensor to investigate neural interactions within the retina [PDF]
Detection of the visual scene by the eye and the resultant neural interactions of the retina-brain system give us our perception of sight. We have developed an Active Pixel Sensor (APS) to be used as a tool for both furthering understanding of these ...

Erectile response to intracavernous injection of vasoactive drugs after penile prosthesis removal [PDF]
Two patients with a history of penile prosthesis removal presented for non-prosthetic treatment of their erectile dysfunction. The first patient had a penile implant for two years before it was removed and showed extensive cavernosal fibrosis. He did not

Visual Prosthesis: Artificial Vision [PDF]
In the normal visual pathway, light travels through the tear film, cornea, aqueous, pupil, lens, and vitreous, to activate the light sensitive photoreceptors and set up the trans-synaptic connections of the retina (Fig. 1). In cases where there is gross destruction of the eye like phthisis bulbi, restoration of vision is not possible. But in conditions
