Our Advanced Computer Model Enables Improvements to “Bionic Eye” Technology
Press releases highlight our experimentally validated advanced computer model that reproduces the shapes and positions of millions of nerve cells in the eye, as well as the physical and networking properties associated with them. Focusing on models of nerve cells that transmit visual information from the eye to the brain, we identified ways to potentially […]
Read MoreOur work on ARGUS II Retinal Stimulation in the News
The Argus II is a microscopic supercomputer implanted into people who have visually impaired eyes. The premise of the device is to help them recognize shapes and patterns, giving them the ability to partially see once more. The Argus II works by stimulating the nerve fiber without disturbing its neighboring cells. The team is testing an electrical stimulation waveform that […]
