For a long time, some have daydreamed about whether neural networks can learn to effectively synthesize stimulation patterns to write information into the brain.
For the first time, we have demonstrated that 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐚…
🚨 New preprint: Researchers from ETH Zurich, UMH Elche, and UCSB report the first data-driven control of a visual cortical prosthesis in a blind human.
Deep learning enabled more efficient, stable stimulation - and argues for closed-loop designs.

🇨🇦 We just completed two surgeries in Canada—our first procedures outside the United States!
This marks an important step towards bringing our technology to more people around the world.
👁️⚡ Data Drop: We spoke with Dr. Jiayi Zhang about her recent Science paper on tellurium nanowire retinal implants: restoring vision and extending it to infrared. No cables.
“Are we treating blindness—or enhancing human capability?”

🔬👁️ The next-gen #PRIMA chip in action: subretinal surgery training in 🇩🇪 with the Science Corps team, Drs. Yannick Le Mer & Lars-Olof Hattenbach.
3D digital visualization + iOCT = a powerful combo for precision implant work.

👁️📉 “Have we lost our way?”
In a sobering but essential read, Prof. Lyndon da Cruz reflects on the rise, retreat, and future of retinal prostheses:
“Performance didn’t transfer to daily life—and the field stalled.”
