Restoring sight for the Blind
#6
RE: Restoring sight for the Blind



While this is certainly fascinating and interesting, it's hardly news. This work has been a long time coming, starting with experiments in which patients were fitted with an array of tactile stimulators, which themselves were hooked up to cameras or photoelectric arrays. With some training, these patients developed a "visual" experience corresponding to the tactile stimulation which was ordered by the visual stimulus.
