Perception is multisensory.
The artificial vision provided by a bionic eye is not like natural sight, and takes a lot of getting used to.
Brain-computer interfacing is a hot topic in the tech world, with Elon Musk’s announcement of his new Neuralink startup. Here, researchers separate what’s science from what’s currently still fiction.
At the nexus of medical science, engineering, computer science and 3D printing is the biofabricator, a new career for the 21st century.
Researchers from Bionic Vision Australia have implanted an early prototype bionic eye, helping a woman with profound vision loss to experience flashes of vision. Bionic Vision Australia, which includes…
The path to development of the bionic eye is blindingly clear but progress is slow. There’s been an explosion of research into retinal and brain-based bionic eyes and the race to develop one has started…
In 1973, the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) first aired The Six Million Dollar Man, a made-for-television movie in which Steve Austin, an astronaut test-piloting a prototype aeroplane, experienced…
What is the bionic eye? Often when we talk about the bionic eye, people get the idea of some sort of artificial eye implanted to replace visual function. In reality, the “eye” comprises a series of components…
