Cortical Visual Prosthesis Project

The Cortical Visual Prosthesis Project aims to restore vision by directly stimulating the brain’s visual cortex, bypassing damaged eyes or optic nerves. Using specialized electrodes, it sends electronic signals that mimic natural visual input, enabling individuals with severe visual impairments or blindness to perceive basic images or patterns. This approach offers a potential pathway to restore sight for those who cannot benefit from traditional eye-based prosthetics, advancing our understanding and technology for neural communication and sensory restoration.
