The channel count arms race. Neural interfaces keep chasing higher channel counts, on the assumption that more channels mean more useful information. The truth is more nuanced: the returns are often diminishing and application-dependent, while the costs to the system and to the tissue keep rising. 1. Every channel carries a systems cost. Each channel needs access to an analog front end, and every acquired channel burns power before any algorithm sees the signal. The AFE can consume a signifi…

Review article: Restoring vision and touch with cortical microstimulation #BCI

Restoring vision and touch with cortical microstimulation | Nature Reviews Bioengineering
The restoration of sensory function following injury or disease represents a critical challenge in neuroengineering. Sensory neuroprostheses, particularly those targeting the primary visual (V1) and somatosensory (S1) cortices, promise to bypass damaged afferent pathways and reintroduce sensory percepts through direct cortical stimulation. Building on foundational insights from non-human primate research, epicortical and intracortical microstimulation has been used to evoke artificial visual an…

It's not that The vOICe vision BCI is so good, it's that invasive BCIs for (restoring) vision are far worse than often claimed. The human brain is not plug-and-play. https://chatgpt.com/share/69f448a9-de04-83eb-9720-98a2f66ca7e5

Low-level "visual" perception with visual-to-auditory sensory substitution is at least on par with brain implants for restoring vision. It's the higher-level visual perception where there remain many open questions. Much more scientific effort should go into that. #BCI #blindness
