Bionic Eye
Summary
This video features a group of researchers working at the interface of cutting edge technology to create the world’s first bionic eye. The bionic eye contains a tiny neuro-stimulated chip of the size of only 2 by 4 millimeters and can be implanted inside the eye. It also contains a set of electrodes which would be placed at the back of the retina. To enable the blind to see, these electrodes are electrically stimulated to convey information down the optic nerve via the visual cortex to the brain. The brain then interprets these signals and remodels them biologically.
