The field of cortical sight restoration prostheses is making rapid progress with three clinical
trials of visual cortical prostheses underway. However, as yet, we have only limited insight …

Objective. Neuromodulation, particularly electrical stimulation, necessitates high spatial
resolution to achieve artificial vision with high acuity. In epiretinal implants, this is hindered …

Understanding the computational mechanisms that underlie the encoding and decoding of
environmental stimuli is a crucial investigation in neuroscience. Central to this pursuit is the …

Neural implants have the potential to restore lost sensory function by electrically evoking the
complex naturalistic activity patterns of neural populations. However, it can be difficult to …

Objective. Neural interfaces are designed to evoke specific patterns of electrical activity in
populations of neurons by stimulating with many electrodes. However, currents passed …

Introduction Current brain-based visual prostheses pose significant challenges impeding
adoption such as the necessarily complex surgeries and occurrence of more substantial …

With electrical stimulation, retinal prostheses bypass dysfunctional photoreceptors and
activate the surviving bipolar or retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Therefore, the effective …

Objective. Bi-directional electronic neural interfaces, capable of both electrical recording and
stimulation, communicate with the nervous system to permit precise calibration of electrical …

Epiretinal implants suffer from a lack of spatial resolution, which is greatly influenced by the
undesired co-activation of distal cells with their axons passing close to targeted somas …

The visual pathway involves complex networks of cells and regions which contribute to the
encoding and processing of visual information. While some aspects of visual perception are …
