Visual prosthesis employing ventricular or endovascular neural electrode arrays
Summary
This patent describes visual prosthesis systems that use flexible electrode arrays delivered through ventricular or endovascular routes to stimulate visual neural tissue. The system captures visual information with a camera, processes the data, and delivers electrical stimulation to the brain to restore functional vision in blind patients.
Why it matters
This technology represents a novel approach to visual restoration that avoids direct cortical surface surgery by using endovascular delivery. Precision Neuroscience's approach could make visual prosthetics accessible to a broader patient population, including those with retinal degeneration and optic nerve damage, creating significant commercial potential.
