High-dimensional electrical stimulation for visual prosthesis

Project description

Electrodes to restore vision

Future advanced neuroprostheses, especially visual prostheses, will need to transfer much more information than currently possible. Improving the electrode count will be part of the solution. The EU-funded HYPERSTIM project will use the available electrodes more efficiently by applying sophisticated stimulation protocols. The project's main objective is to achieve a resolution of at least 20 times the number of electrodes that are physically present with a combination of techniques. The obtained order-of-magnitude improvement in resolution will spur the development of breakthrough prostheses that will be widely adopted by blind patients and bring the field of neural interfacing to the next level.
