BIOMEDICAL NEUROENGINEERING
Cortical visual neuroprosthesis for the blind
Main Objectives
Our research focuses on the design and development of systems that can help enhance the cognitive, communicative, and physical abilities of people with sensory or motor disabilities. Cortivis Project is dedicated to developing various prototypes in the field of visual rehabilitation and demonstrating the feasibility of a cortical neuroprosthesis connected to the visual cortex as a means to restore vision in a limited but useful way for completely blind individuals.
What Cortivis is?
Cortivis is a neuroprosthesis prototype interconnected with the cerebral cortex, through which a visual perception is restored, allowing completely blind individuals to receive various visual stimuli.
