| Spanish scientists use brain implant electrode technology to allow a blind person to successfully recognize shapes and words |
According to a report on October 19, local time, in the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, a systematic experiment to restore partial vision for the blind has recently achieved results on a 57-year-old Spanish blind woman
.
With this system, the woman was able to recognize the shape of objects and parts of text
This system was designed by scientists at the Miguel Hernández University in Elche, Valencia, Spain.
The system allows blind people to recognize shapes and parts of text by implanting electrodes in the brain's vision area
.
This is the first time the technology has been tested in the blind population, and researchers are still recruiting volunteers to test this technology
The key to this technique is that the implant blind micro-electrode plate NPC areas of the brain responsible for vision, the artificial retina by the human eye effect the light into electrical action, and to activate the brain's visual function
.
This technology is different from the existing methods of using optogenetics to restore part of the vision through light technology.
