Central Visual Prosthesis with Interface at the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus

Abstract

The goals of this project are to: Modify microfabrication methods to produce 256 channel, implantable electrode arrays for the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN), Adapt visual neuroprosthesis RF coil and titanium package to fit in small hole in skull; update external controller software, Develop surgical insertion tool to deliver the electrodes to LGN, In vitro bench testing of electrode arrays and insertion tools, In vivo implantation and psychophysical testing in non-human primate animal model .
