Third successful implantation of wireless visual prosthesis brain implant advances the frontier of artificial vision
In a major milestone for the field of neurotechnology, the Intracortical Visual Prosthesis (ICVP), a revolutionary wireless brain implant that bypasses the retina and optic nerves to connect directly to the brain’s visual cortex to provide artificial vision, has been successfully surgically implanted in the ICVP study’s third participant. This surgery, performed at Rush University Medical Center, underscores the scalability and robustness of the system, marking a new chapter in advancing …
