Restoring Vision to the Blind: Concluding Remarks.
When we conceived of this initiative to study the progress made so far of restoring vision to the blind, we recognized the enormous diversity of approaches already underway and their complexity. An immediate concern was whether we could get our hands around the topic and present a reasonably comprehensive and useful report; a report that would be helpful to the research community, funding agenc...
متن کاملRestoring Vision to the Blind: Introduction.
The notion that restoring vision to the blind is possible has long been thought to be fanciful. However, beginning as far back as the 1960s vision scientists began to investigate the possibility of restoring vision to the blind by activating neurons in the visual pathways beyond the eye, namely in the visual cortex. These early experiments showed that it is possible to elicit visual sensations ...
متن کاملChapter 6 - Restoring Vision to the Blind: Neuroprotection.
Retinal cell death is the leading cause of vision loss in the majority of blinding conditions. Research focused on understanding the mechanism by which retinal cells die provides the cornerstone on which we will build and develop therapies meant to target those mechanisms. Neuroprotective therapies are one approach that is aimed at preventing, slowing, and ultimately, reversing the neurodegener...
متن کاملChapter 5 - Restoring Vision to the Blind: Endogenous Regeneration.
The human eye is made up of many tissues, each of which directly or indirectly influences our visual perception of the world. Tissues that directly impact vision include the cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve. The cornea and lens serve to focus light as it enters into the eye; this light is detected and analyzed by the retina and the visual signal communicated to the rest of the brain via re...

27 slopes, in the worst case, the proposed method could result in a serial execution. In this case, more dependence information, such as the magnitude of dependence vectors, may be required for computing a more eecient BDV set. Even though only a two-dimensional iteration space was considered in this paper, a similar algorithm can be extended to a multiple-dimensional iteration space. However, ...
