UMH pioneers a visual neuroprosthesis that communicates with the brain in real time

Caption

Vision isn’t a passive process; it’s a constant exchange of information between the eyes and the brain. That’s why artificial systems must also reproduce this feedback loop to mimic better how the visual system truly functions. In any case, the goal is not to “see again,” but to regain functional vision—enough to support basic tasks like navigation, mobility, and reading large characters or numbers.
