@mbeyeler.bsky.socialIn visual cortical prostheses, the input stimulation pattern is a poor predictor of the resulting percept.
Pehuén talks about how targeting the brain’s response instead could make these devices more reliable, adaptive, and eventually closed-loop.
@bionic-vision.orgNew Data Drop: Pehuén Moure on learning to control #BionicVision.
We talked about why neural responses may be a better target than stimulation settings, what limits the responses we can evoke, and how this could lead to more adaptive visual prostheses.
@bionic-vision.orgTwo years ago, we lost Philip Hessburg (@henryfordhealth.bsky.social).
A pioneer in #BionicVision and a voice that helped shape how we think about restoring sight.

@bionic-vision.orgBig news from Phosphoenix: the Amsterdam spin-off has raised €1.3M to advance its visual neuroprosthesis toward a first-in-human study.
Their Fountain Probe uses 1,000+ microelectrodes to stimulate the visual pathway directly, bypassing the eyes.
