Abstract: Recent Advances in Cortical StimulationThe earliest multielectrode prosthesis for vision was on the surface of a patient's visual cortex in July of 1967, and was an array of flat electrodes, embedded in silicone, and activated wirelessly through transdermal radio transmission (Brindley & Lewin, 1968).This implant demonstrated that electrical stimulation of the visual system could produce light percepts (phosphenes) with reliable location, shape, and size; however, it was inconveniently bulky, required high currents, occasionally caused pain upon stimulation, and was unable to produce sufficient coverage of the visual space for useful http://tvstjournal.org/
