Mindtrix Technology (Mingshi Brain-Computer Technology), the Chinese company that is developing a brain implant for restoring vision to the blind, now has a flashy website of its own at www.mindtrix.cn Competition for Neuralink Blindsight? #BCI #NeuroTech #blindness

Interest in implantable visual prostheses seems to be waning? Interest on X in a Neuralink Blindsight brain implant for restoring vision appears entirely artificial and illusory: no comparable activity here on Bluesky. #BCI #blindness

(video) It might here just be an AI's "artist's impression", but it is also conceivable that Mindtrix aims for a scanning approach analogous to The vOICe, now to minimize seizure risk by stimulating only a small number of electrodes in V1 at a time. #China #BCI #blindness

Insofar China's push for implantable BCI development includes brain implants for the blind, this will also imply complementary development of smartglasses that may in turn render these brain implants redundant bsky.app/profile/seei... #BCI #NeuroTech #blindness #smartglasses

How does Science Corporation define "form vision", in claiming that their PRIMA retinal implant is the first BCI that restores form vision? So, can visual-to-auditory sensory substitution be said to provide (functional) form vision? chatgpt.com/share/6aae8a... #BCI #blindness
