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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Objective. A visual prosthesis based on penetrating electrode stimulation within the optic
nerve (ON) is a potential way to restore partial functional vision for blind patients. We …

We hypothesize that a visual prosthesis capable of evoking high-resolution visual
perceptions can be produced using high-electrode-count arrays of penetrating …

There are more than forty million blind individuals in the world whose plight would be greatly
ameliorated by creating a visual prosthesis. We begin by outlining the basic operational …

We assess what monkeys see during electrical stimulation of primary visual cortex (area V1)
and relate the findings to visual percepts evoked electrically from human V1. Discussed …
