Adaptive high-resolution electrical stimulation for retinal implant design
Project Summary/Abstract The goal of our work is to develop a high-resolution electronic epiretinal implant for treating incurable blindness from retinal degeneration. To further this goal, we propose here to develop novel techniques for adaptive, high-resolution, multi-electrode recording and stimulation of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the isolated macaque and human retina as an experimental lab prototype for the future device. The major goals of this project are to (1) adaptively use current steering with electrode triplets to enhance selective targeting of RGCs, (2) adaptively use spatio-temporal dithering and multiplexing to produce naturalistic activity in large RGC populations…
