A New Vision-Restoring Brain Implant Could Give Sight to the Blind

Bump it!

Researchers will use a new type of brain implant to stimulate the visual cortex in monkeys, essentially recreating the activity usually triggered by neuron signals from the eyes. Instead of using electrodes to induce electrical activity within the brain, this new type of brain implant uses magnetic fields, thus avoided degradation problems due to scar tissue.
