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 […]
