Visual prostheses for the blind : a framework for information presentation

Jason Dowling, Wageeh Boles, Anthony Maeder, John Billingsley, Robin Bradbeer

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter

Abstract

![CDATA[A number of research teams are investigating the partial restoration of sight to blind people from the electrical stimulation of a component of the visual system. In 1929 it was noted by Otfrid Foerster that stimulating the human visual cortex led to the perception of spots of ‘light’ (Hambercht, 1990) referred to as phosphenes. With recent advances in technology, progress has been made toward building a useful visual prosthesis or Artificial Human Vision (AHV) system to present phosphene information to a blind person.]]
