Artificial retina more capable of restoring normal vision; animal study shows including retina’s neural 'code' improved prosthetic

Tuesday, November 16, 2010 - 11:30 in Biology & Nature

Researchers have developed an artificial retina that has the capacity to reproduce normal vision in mice. While other prosthetic strategies mainly increase the number of electrodes in an eye to capture more information, this study concentrated on incorporating the eye's neural "code" that converts pictures into signals the brain can understand.
