2010 DEC 2 -- New research, 'Estimation of phosphene spatial variability for visual prosthesis applications,' is the subject of a report. "Visual prostheses are the focus of intensive research efforts to restore some measure of useful vision to blind or near-blind patients. The development of such technology is being guided to an extent by tools that simulate prosthesis behavior for healthy sighted subjects in order to assess system requirements and configurations," investigators in the United States report.
"These simulators, however, typically assume purely deterministic phosphene properties and thus do not apply any variability to phosphene size,...
