WASHINGTON: US scientists hit successfully restored coloured exteroception in a 50-year-old woman, diagnosed with blinding disease at the age of 13, with the help of an electronic receptor implant.The bionic receptor was developed by Second Sight under the lead of Dr. Mark Humayun.
It is a factor of the Argus II Retinal Stimulation System and is designed to impact pigment cells directly.
Argus II comprises three components: the established part, which is placed inside the patient’s eye; a tiny camera and transmitter, mounted on a unify of sunglasses; and a wireless microprocessor and battery pack, to be worn on a belt.
The implant itself contains 60 tiny electrodes that are attached to the retina via a micro-wire roughly the width of a human hair. These administer electrical impulses to pigment cells, allowing the mentality to perceive light.
