Focal electrical stimulation of major ganglion cell types in the primate retina for the design of visual prostheses
Key to this research was the fabrication of a high-density, transparent microelectrode array for high-spatial-resolution recording of single-unit spontaneous neural activity and responses to low-artefact electrical and visual stimulation. The significance of this device to neuroscience is demonstrated by National Institutes of Health (R01 EY021271) and Sanofi-Aventis Discovery grants, both held at the Salk Institute San Diego [Chichilnisky, ej@salk.edu], to apply the approach described in the output. The research was presented, by invitation, at the Australian Neuroscience Society, Sydney, The Eye and the Chip, Detroit, the Institut de la Vision, Paris, Stanford University, California and the University of Washington, Seattle.
