Lily M. Turkstra et al. from UC, Santa Barbara find that gamification enhances user engagement and task performance in prosthetic vision testing. doi.org/10.1167/tvst.1…
April 30 marks 100 years of Giles S. Brindley FRS Pioneer of cortical implants & #BionicVision 🧠⚡ Architect of modern erectile dysfunction therapy Gave the most notorious live demo in scientific history A century of impact. bionic-vision.org/people/giles-b… #Neuroscience #NeuroTech
If you're interested in vision restoration, here are a few recent conversations: • Jan Antolik (computational models & V1) • Lauren Ayton (@DrLaurenAyton, clinical trials & outcomes) • Yossi Mandel (hybrid retinal implants) bionic-vision.org/research-spotl…
Calling researchers in #NeuroTech and prosthetics: @NIH is seeking input on draft resources for implant trials, focused on post-trial support & informed consent Help shape expectations around long-term care, risks, responsibilities 🗓️ May 25, 2026 🔗 grants.nih.gov/news-events/ni…
“These cells translate electrical current into the language of the retina.” Hybrid prostheses and the push toward more natural stimulation: bionic-vision.org/research-spotl… #BionicVision #neurotechnology #neuroscience #BCI
.@AmberMaimon: “The greatest challenge is that perception is not simply electrical.” “It’s not enough to activate the right neurons or reproduce the correct signal patterns. The information must be organized in a way the brain can interpret+integrate” cacm.acm.org/news/the-new-e…
Metal electrodes cause cumulative brain damage that undermines device performance over time. @ScienceCorp_'s approach: lab-grown neurons, optically stimulated, designed to integrate natively with the cortex. First-in-human trials in prep. techcrunch.com/2026/04/14/max… #BCI #NeuroTech
Dr. David McMillan (Miami Project): @neuralink's robot "visualizes blood vessels" at each implant site. That vessel-mapping precision defines the ceiling for what Blindsight's cortical array can attempt: theblackandwhite.net/82436/feature/… #BCI #NeuralEngineering #NeuroTech
Come visit us at the VM Retina Meeting 2026 in Munich from Thurs, April 16 – Sat, April 18 – booth #7. Meet our team and see the PRIMA implant, next-gen glasses, and implantation device up close. PRIMA is our fully wireless, photovoltaic retinal implant which in clinical trials restored central vision to patients with geographic atrophy due to age-related macular degeneration. In a landmark clinical trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine, ~80% of participants demonstrated clinically meaningful improvement in visual acuity at 12 months, and 84% reported the ability to read letters, numbers, and words.
Even with restored vision, faces remain a challenge. A new #PRIMA based simulation shows why and how image processing and #ML can help recover lost features. link.springer.com/article/10.118… #Neurotechnology #BionicVision
How do you actually measure whether a bionic eye works? “It’s a delicate balance.” Lauren Ayton on outcome measures, patients, and regulators: bionic-vision.org/research-spotl… #Neurotechnology #VisionResearch
421 micro-electrodes. Single-neuron resolution. @paradromics' APEX partnership program is opening up access to next-gen neural recording systems: mpo-mag.com/breaking-news/… #Neurotechnology #BCI
🎉 Excited to share our new paper in Nature: “Active Dissociation of Intracortical Spiking and High Gamma Activity.” 🧠 Huge thanks to my advisors first: @SlutzkyLab @joshuaiglaser Paper link: nature.com/articles/s4158… Here are some digests that walk you through the results 👇🏼
We still don’t have a computational explanation of phosphenes. That’s a problem if you’re trying to build visual prosthetics. Jan Antolik on bridging stimulation, circuit dynamics, and percept: bionic-vision.org/research-spotl… #CompNeuro #neuroscience #BionicVision
"Are BCI companies becoming AI companies?" @naveen101's Representations - a new series exploring neurotech’s evolving business frontier - digs into #neurotech business Innovation in the #AI era bit.ly/413383e
#Neurotech innovation starts at the device level. @IEEEEDS advances electron and ion-based devices connecting materials, fabrication, and applications that are shaping tomorrow’s #brain-inspired breakthroughs. @IEEEBrain is proud to have it as a supporter: eds.ieee.org
She lost her sight. Now she reads again. A retinal implant 20 years in the making is restoring functional vision in patients with macular degeneration. “Now I read most days.” stanfordmag.org/contents/visio… #BionicVision #Neurotechnology #VisionResearch #AMD
From #AI to #CompNeuro to #BionicVision: “If we wish to intervene in the brain, it is not enough to know what computations we wish to impact...” Jan Antolik on why biological realism matters: bionic-vision.org/research-spotl… #AcademicChatter #NeuroAI #neurotechnology
As we accelerate the development of our Biohybrid BCI program, we are thrilled to welcome Dr. Murat Günel as Science's new Medical Director for Brain-Computer Interfaces. Dr. Günel is Chair of Neurosurgery at Yale School of Medicine, Neurosurgeon-in-Chief of Yale New Haven Health System, and a Member of the National Academy of Medicine. Read the blog post in the comments.
From the AI winter to vision restoration. Jan Antolik on building models that take biology seriously and why we still don’t understand how stimulation turns into perception. That gap matters: bionic-vision.org/research-spotl… #BionicVision #NeuroTech #BCI #ComputationalNeuroscience
