Probing and modulating inter-areal coupling in the cortical visual motion processing pathway with non-invasive brain stimulation

In the last few years, stroke ranked as the second most common cause of death and is the third most significant condition affecting disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide. Being the most prevalent and quality of life impacting post-stroke symptom ...

Fabrication and validation of an intraneural interface tailored for optic nerve stimulation

Eleonora Borda

Technological progress in materials science and microengineering along with new discoveries in neuroscience have contributed to restore lost or impaired sensory functions by closely interfacing with the nervous system. Electronic devices have begun to be i ...

Vision-based Flocking in Aerial Robot Swarms

Fabian Maximilian Schilling

Aerial robot swarms have the potential to perform time-critical and dangerous tasks such as disaster response without compromising human safety. However, their reliance on external infrastructure such as global positioning for localization and wireless net ...

A machine-learning algorithm correctly classifies cortical evoked potentials from both visual stimulation and electrical stimulation of the optic nerve

Diego Ghezzi, Eleonora Borda, Vivien Gaillet, Elodie Geneviève Zollinger

Objective. Optic nerve's intraneural stimulation is an emerging neuroprosthetic approach to provide artificial vision to totally blind patients. An open question is the possibility to evoke individual non-overlapping phosphenes via selective intraneural op ...

Photovoltaic stimulation of retinal microcircuit for vision restoration

Naïg Aurelia Ludmilla Chenais

Sight restoration through retinal prostheses was still a mere dream a century ago. Current challenges are even greater: providing a quantitatively and qualitatively useful artificial vision to late blind patients. Existing approaches all face engineering a ...

Virtual reality simulation of epiretinal stimulation highlights the relevance of the visual angle in prosthetic vision

Diego Ghezzi, Enrico Migliorini, Jacob Thomas Thorn

Objective. Retinal prostheses hold the potential to restore artificial vision in blind patients suffering from outer retinal dystrophies. The optimal number, density and coverage of the electrodes that a retinal prosthesis should have to provide adequate a ...

Perspectives: Hemianopia—Toward Novel Treatment Options Based on Oscillatory Activity?

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Estelle Emeline Raffin, Roberto Felipe Salamanca Giron

Stroke has become one of the main causes of visual impairment, with more than 15 million incidences of first-time strokes, per year, worldwide. One-third of stroke survivors exhibit visual impairment, and most of them will not fully recover. Some recovery ...

Spatially selective activation of the visual cortex via intraneural stimulation of the optic nerve

Silvestro Micera, Diego Ghezzi, Paola Vagni, Vivien Gaillet, Fiorenzo Artoni, Ariastity Mega Pratiwi, Dario Lipucci Di Paola

Retinal prostheses can restore a functional form of vision in patients affected by dystrophies of the outer retinal layer. Beyond clinical utility, prostheses for the stimulation of the optic nerve, the visual thalamus or the visual cortex could also serve ...

Dorsal and ventral stream contributions to form-from-motion perception in a patient with form-from motion deficit: a case report

Olaf Blanke, Manuel Mercier

The main model of visual processing in primates proposes an anatomo-functional distinction between the dorsal stream, specialized in spatio-temporal information, and the ventral stream, processing essentially form information. However, these two pathways a ...

Assessment of Stereoscopic Crosstalk Perception

Touradj Ebrahimi

Stereoscopic three-dimensional (3-D) services do not always prevail when compared with their two-dimensional (2-D) counterparts, though the former can provide more immersive experience with the help of binocular depth. Various specific 3-D artefacts might ...
