New methods devised specify the size and color of the spots monkeys see when striate cortex (area V1) is electrically stimulated

Creating a prosthetic device for the blind is a central future task. Our research examines the feasibility of producing a prosthetic device based on electrical stimulation of primary visual cortex (area V1), an area that remains intact for many years after loss of vision attributable to damage to th...
