Spanish scientists from the University of Miguel Hernandez implanted an implant in a blind woman that directly stimulates the visual cortex of the brain. Writes about this New Atlas. The device went to a 57-year-old woman who suffered from blindness for 16 years. It is noted that the implant is an artificial retina on ordinary glasses. It detects light, converts it into electrical signals, which are transmitted to a three-dimensional matrix of 96 microelectrodes implanted in the human brain.. Its width is 4 mm, and the length of the electrode is 1.5 mm.

Signals travel to the brain and thus stimulate and control the electrical activity of neurons in the visual cortex, which is located in the larger cerebral cortex.. Thus, a person perceives light patterns.. We will remind, earlier in the United States, a completely blind person who has not seen for 40 years, partially restored his sight. Scientists were able to restore vision in a blind patient in a day News from Telegram. Subscribe to our channel https: // t. me / korrespondentnet Author: 1.
