Phosphene evaluation in a visual prosthesis with artificial neural networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electrical stimulation of the optic nerve is investigated, as an approach to the development of a microsystems-based visual prosthesis. Non-linear prediction models, i.e. artificial neural networks, for phosphene localisation are used and show promising results. The prediction error is reduced up to 20% in comparison with linear statistical models and the error standard deviation is restrained such that the prediction accuracy is similar to the measurements accuracy. In addition, it is shown that linear methods do not suit this kind of problems.

متن کاملA neural interface for a cortical vision prosthesis
The development of a cortically based vision prosthesis has been hampered by a lack of basic experiments on phosphene psychophysics. This basic research has been hampered by the lack of a means to safely stimulate large numbers of cortical neurons. Recently, a number of laboratories have developed arrays of silicon microelectrodes that could enable such basic studies on phosphene psychophysics....
