This review argues that one reason why a functional visuo-cortical prosthetic device has not
been developed to restore even minimal vision to blind individuals is because there is no …

Non-human primates are being used to develop a cortical visual prosthesis for the blind. We
use the properties of electrical microstimulation of striate cortex (area V1) of macaque …

Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) is a promising therapeutic tool for a range of
neurological diseases. Understanding how the small currents used in tES spread across the …

The purpose of this review is to critically examine phosphene induction and saccadic eye
movement generation by electrical microstimulation of striate cortex (area V1) in humans …

Electrical microstimulation of the striate cortex (area V1) in monkeys delays the execution of
saccadic eye movements generated to a visual target located in the receptive field of the …

Electrical stimulation of the visual system might serve as the foundation for a prosthetic
device for the blind. We examined whether microstimulation of the dorsal lateral geniculate …

Creating a prosthetic device for the blind is a central future task. Our research examines the
feasibility of producing a prosthetic device based on electrical stimulation of primary visual …

Electrical microstimulation of macaque primary visual cortex (area V1) is known to delay the
execution of saccadic eye movements made to a punctate visual target placed into the …

Objective. It has been hypothesized that a vision prosthesis capable of evoking useful visual
percepts can be based upon electrically stimulating the primary visual cortex (V1) of a blind …

We report on our efforts to establish an animal model for the development and testing of a
cortical visual prostheses. One-hundred-fifty-two electrodes were implanted in the primary …
