Arthur Lowery, professor at Monash University's Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, said in a statement, "Our design creates a visual pattern from combinations of up to 172 spots of light (phosphenes) which provides information for the individual to navigate indoor and outdoor environments, and recognize the presence of people and objects around them."Further, researchers are looking to advance their system to help people with untreatable neurological conditions like limb paralysis, quadriplegia."If successful, the MVG [Monash Vision Group] team will look to create a new commercial enterprise focused on providing a vision to people with untreatable blindness and movement to the arms of people paralyzed by quadriplegia, transforming their health care."With this system, there is some light at the end of the tunnel for those who have lost their vision and they might be able to view or experience things through the bionic eye.They are now preparing to take it to the next level for its first-ever human clinical trial, that is expected to be conducted in Melbourne."
