With increasing research advances and clinical trials of visual prostheses, there is significant
demand to better understand the perceptual and psychophysical aspects of prosthetic …

There has been accelerating progress in the development of retinal prosthesis systems
designed to partially restore vision to people with retinitis pigmentosa or macular …

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 …

Visual prostheses, used to assist in restoring functional vision to the visually impaired,
convert captured external images into corresponding electrical stimulation patterns that are …

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 …

Investigators of microelectronic visual prosthesis devices have found that some aspects of
vision can be restored in the form of spots of light in the visual field, so-called “phosphenes” …

The psychophysics of reading with artificial sight has received increasing attention as visual
prostheses are becoming a real possibility to restore useful function to the blind through the …

Simulated artificial vision is used in visual prosthesis design to answer questions about
device usability. We previously reported a striking increase in equivalent visual acuity with …

Familiar facial identification is important to blind or visually impaired patients and can be
achieved using a retinal prosthesis. Nevertheless, there are limitations in delivering the …

In most current vision prosthesis designs, head movement is the sole director of visual gaze
and scanning due to the head-mounted nature of the camera. Study of this unnatural …
