  • @sight92 - sorry was completely wrong in my previous post - this article explains it better technologyreview. com/ biomedicine/ 26751/ page1/

  • This speaker was so bad I'm not sure if I should praise this or bury it.

    At the end of the video, I know about as much as I did going in.

    In what type of situation does a device like this apply? There are many types of blindness.

    What does this device actually do? She mentioned it working conjointly with the organic transcoders, yet I see no photosensoreal capability in it, so what exactly is capturing the video input?

    This presentation should've been more carefully prepared.

  • Hahaha! You have to love how she points out "Well when he can see, he'll be able to realize how silly he looks". Seriously though, this is the greatest, most impressive thing I've seen in a while!

  • @platinummediauk I think this one has not because its the the whole talk this is just a QA after, this is the first part. Search "Sheila Nirenberg: A prosthetic eye to treat blindness " I would have put the link but it errored when i added it. enjoy. :)

  • @Gezab couldn't agree more!

  • @YoLninYo

    Too bad the nobel prizes have turned from a prestigious, hard to get award to a politicized joke.

  • Unconvincing. How do they know that the animal implant produces that sharp beautiful baby face??? They apparently measured the signal and concluded "it looks good!"

    If it works, then get a VIDEO of the animal recognizing a sign leading to food(and differentiating from a very similar sign that leads to bad tasting junk.)
