A Model for Intracortical Visual Prosthesis Research

Artificial Organs, 2003
Abstract:  In the field of visual prosthesis research, it has generally been held that animal models are limited to testing the safety of implantable hardware due to the inability of the animal to provide a linguistic report of perceptions. In contrast, vision scientists make extensive use of trained animal models to investigate the links between ...

Experimental visual prosthesis

Proceedings of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, 1973
Of the methods available which seek artificially to replace the sensory input lost through blindness, the approach which should ultimately be of greatest value is that by which visual information is fed directly to the brain. The paper reviews earlier work in this field and describes a new prosthesis which gives grounds for optimism.

Implantable Imaging System for Visual Prosthesis

Artificial Organs, 2010
AbstractIn order to propose a method of intraocular imaging system for the visual prosthesis, an implantable microcamera was developed and evaluated in vivo. The microcamera was specially developed and shaped to fit the rabbit's lens capsule and encapsulated with the biocompatible silicone. To evaluate the feasibility of this novel approach, the custom‐

Electronic Visual Prosthesis

Artificial Organs, 2003
Abstract: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) are incurable diseases that result in profound vision loss due to degeneration of the light sensing photoreceptors. However, the discovery that direct electrical stimulation of the retinal neurons creates visual sensation has inspired prosthetic devices aimed to restore ...

Toward the development of a color visual prosthesis

Journal of Neural Engineering, 2021
Abstract Objective . All of the human prosthetic visual systems implanted so far have been achromatic. Schmidt et al (1996 Brain 119 507–22) reported that at low stimulation intensities their ...

A Prototype Retinal Prosthesis for Visual Stimulation

2007 29th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2007
Vision loss has severe impacts on its victims, carrying with it physiological, psychological, social, and economic consequences thereby degrading the quality of life and depriving the individual from performing many of the daily living activities. This article describes the design and development of a prototype retinal prosthesis for visual stimulation.
