Abstract:
The last few decades have witnessed an immense effort to develop working retinal implants for patients suffering from retinal degeneration diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa. However, it is becoming apparent that this approach is unable to restore levels of vision that will be sufficient to offer significant improvement in the quality of life of patients. Herein, a new type of retinal prosthesis that is based on genetic expression of microbial light sensitive ion channel, Chanelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2), and a remote light stimulation is examined. First, the dynamics of the ChR2 stimulation is cha

Abstract:
Retinal prostheses require the presence of viable population of cells in the inner retina. Evaluations of retina with Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) have shown a large number of cells remain in the inner retina compared with the outer retina. Therefore, vision loss caused by AMD and RP is potentially treatable with retinal prostheses. Photostimulation based retinal prostheses have shown many advantages compared with retinal implants. In contrary to electrode based stimulation, light does not require mechanical contact. Therefore, the system can be complete

Abstract:
Restoring vision to the blind has been an objective of several research teams for a number of years. It is known that spots of light -- phosphenes -- can be elicited by way of electrical stimulation of surviving retinal neurons. Beyond this, however, our understanding of prosthetic vision remains rudimentary. To advance the realisation of a clinically viable prosthesis for the blind, a versatile integrated circuit neurostimulator was designed, manufactured, and verified. The neurostimulator provides electrical stimuli to surviving neurons in the visual pathway, affording blind patients some f

Background. A visual prosthesis is a conceptual device designed to activate residual functional neurons in the visual pathway of blind individuals to produce artificial vision.

However the practicality of such approach has been challenged by the difficulty of surgical access and the risks of damaging the neuroretina. Positioning a visual impla

Abstract:
Les processus de plasticité cérébrale consécutifs à un déficit visuel survenu tardivement sont encore peu connus. En comprendre les mécanismes est pourtant essentiel à l'optimisation de méthodes de rééducation des sujets atteints, au développement de dispositifs visant à substituer l'information normalement apportée par la modalité déficiente, par celle d'une autre modalité sensorielle, et à la conception de systèmes permettant de restaurer une certaine fonction visuelle. Afin d'étudier ces processus, nous avons choisi d'une part, d'analyser la connectivité fonctionnelle du cerveau à l'état de

Abstract:
The retina is responsible for encoding different aspects of the visual world. Light enters the eyes and is converted by the photoreceptors into electrochemical signals. These signals are processed by the retinal network and proceed afferently to the brain via the axons of the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). The RGCs outputs are in the form of action potentials (spikes), which encrypt the visual information in terms of spike shape, firing frequencies, and the firing patterns. When the photoreceptors are gone due to disease, vision is lost. The idea of a retinal prosthesis is to activate the surv

In order to observe the aging phenomenon in a material in a relative short time, we try to speed up the aging process in chosen materials. Method:Four kinds of metal, gold, platinum, titanium, and tantalum employed for electrode materials were chosen in this study. PSB solution was used as a medium for simulating the environment in retina. For each material, the conduction currents with magni

碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>電子工程學系 電子研究所<br>102<br>The vision quality of the visually impaired people treated by retinal prosthesis is largely affected by the vision resolution. Due to some related technical bottlenecks, how to make effective use of existing low-resolution screen becomes an important issue. This paper presents an eye-controlled visual aid system to achieve an efficient use of low-resolution vision by zooming in the user's interested objects (when staring, zoom-in; when closing eye, zoom-out). In order to better simulate the actual low-resolution vision of the patients, we have also design

If we lose vision will bring more inconvenience for living. Many research groups hope to resume vision for the lost visual person. Especially, degeneration of photoreceptor cells is to cause blind. The mainly reason is Age-related (Macular Degeneration) and pigment retinitis (Retinitis Pigmetosa). Now, the medical science and technology are improved, there are appearances of retina prosthesis.

Abstract:
Retinal prostheses are emerging as a viable therapy option for those blinded by degenerative eye conditions that destroy the photoreceptors of the retina but spare the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). My research sought to address the issue of how a retinal prosthesis might best activate these cells by way of electrical stimulation. Whole-cell patch clamp recordings were made in explanted retinal wholemount preparations from normally-sighted rats. Stimulating electrodes were fabricated from nitrogen-doped ultra-nanocrystalline diamond (N-UNCD) and placed on the epiretinal surface, adjacent to th
