Towards a Smart Bionic Eye

可伸缩Blindness

These NLM-funded researchers bring together artificial intelligence,virtual reality,and visual prostheses–retinal and brain implants referred to as“bionic eyes”–in hopes of one day providing better assistive technology for incurable blindness that affects about40million people worldwide。

Despite recent advances in gene and stem cell therapies,which are showing great promise,there are no effective treatments formany people blinded by severe degeneration or damage to the retina,the optic nerve,or cortex。In such cases,an electronic visual prosthesis(“bionic eye”)may be the only option。The goal is thus to address fundamental questions at the intersection of neuroscience,computer science,and human-computer interaction that will enable the development of a Smart Bionic Eye。
