New in @NeuroCellPress: Deep learning can help predict and control neural responses to electrical stimulation in human visual cortex. The study points toward visual prostheses that adapt stimulation to the brain’s actual response. doi.org/10.1016/j.ne... #BionicVision #BCI #Neurotechnology
Diagram showing how different stimulation strategies try to reproduce a desired pattern of brain activity in a visual cortical implant. A target neural response is converted into electrical stimulation using either simple 1-to-1 electrode mapping, a learned inverse model, or gradient-based optimization. The resulting responses are then predicted by a model or measured in the brain and compared with the target.

PRIMA is the first retinal prosthesis approved for commercial use in Europe for people with geographic atrophy due to dry age-related macular degeneration. The first commercial implantation is expected soon. #BionicVision #NeuroTech #BCI #AMD #blindness
The PRIMA implant, measuring 2 x 2 mm, held between tweezers and the PRIMA glasses

🔬👁️ The next-gen #PRIMA chip in action: subretinal surgery training in 🇩🇪 with the Science Corps team, Prof. Yannick Le Mer, and Prof. Dr. Lars-Olof Hattenbach. 3D digital visualization + iOCT = a powerful combo for precision subretinal implant work. #BionicVision #NeuroTech 📸 via Dr. Mahi Muqit
A group of surgeons in blue scrubs and surgical masks are performing a procedure in a clinical wetlab setting. Dr. Muqit (seated) operates under a ZEISS ARTEVO® 850 surgical microscope, with Dr. others observing and assisting nearby. A large monitor and medical equipment are visible in the background, along with surgical instruments on a sterile table. The environment is dimly lit, with overhead lights providing focused illumination on the surgical field.A surgeon in blue scrubs, surgical gloves, and a hair cover is seated and operating under a ZEISS ARTEVO® 850 surgical microscope. He is performing a delicate procedure on a blue surgical model using forceps, while another masked assistant supports from behind. The operating table is covered with a sterile green drape, and medical tubing and instruments are visible around the setup. The environment is dimly lit, highlighting the precision of the surgical training.A wide view of a surgical training room shows multiple surgeons in blue scrubs and masks working around a ZEISS ARTEVO® 850 digital microscope. One seated surgeon is actively operating on a subretinal surgery model, while others observe and assist. A large overhead visualization arm and a table with imaging and surgical equipment are prominently visible. The lighting is dim except for the illuminated surgical field, emphasizing the precision and focus of the wetlab environment.Two surgeons in blue scrubs and surgical caps are seated at a ZEISS ARTEVO® 850 digital microscope in a dimly lit operating room. A large monitor displays a high-resolution OCT scan, showing detailed cross-sections of ocular tissue. A green surgical drape, tubing, and imaging equipment are visible around the operating station. The scene highlights the integration of real-time imaging in subretinal surgical training.

Based on the NEURON software, cell distributions and morphologies were modeled using immunohistology data. Retinal degeneration (Phase I) was simulated via loss of photoreceptors. The paper concludes that subretinal devices may provide more naturalistic vision than epiretinal devices.
