Scientists Let A Blind Person See With A Camera

technology and scientific advances It makes life more livable and easier in different areas. One of these areas is those who want to live life more easily and equally. people with disabilities difficulties experienced. To address these challenges, scientists and technologists around the world are doing important work.

American and Spanish scientists discovered that a former science teacher who had been blind for 16 years visual center in the brain They placed a microelectrode and a camera in a glasses so that he could see letters and distinguish objects. teacher, microelectrode used for six months and did not experience any deterioration in brain activity or other health complications.

After long work, it was realized:

According to the study published this week in The Journal of Clinical Investigation, camera in glassesIt sends visual data directly to the microelectrode placed in the visual center of the brain and allows this person to see. This technology, which scientists have been working on for years, goes beyond being a dream and a dream. Eduardo Fernandez, a scientist from Miguel Hernandez University, said:We have taken an important step forward by demonstrating the potential of such devices to restore functional vision for people who have lost their sight.” he declared.

To test the work, the teacher gave Berna Gomez a video game played. In the game, an image of Maggie Simpson holding a gun in her left or right hand appeared on a screen and the teacher was asked to know the hand holding the gun correctly. Gomez was able to do this in line with the data interaction between the glasses and the microelectrode. In addition, Gomez was asked to know the letters in the alphabet, but the system could not identify all the letters. He was able to distinguish some of Gómez’s letters, such as ‘I’, ‘L’, ‘C’, ‘V’ and ‘O’. This study until May 2024 reported to continue.
