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 ...

Application of virtual reality in neurosurgery: Patient missing. A systematic review

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin

Virtual reality (VR) technology had its earliest developments in the 1970s in the U.S. Air Force and has since evolved into a budding area of scientific research with many practical medical purposes. VR shows a high potential to benefit to learners and tra ...

Flexure-based mecano-optical multi-degree-of-freedom transducers dedicated to medical force sensing instruments

Sebastian Krzysztof Fifanski

This thesis develops novel multi-degrees-of-freedom flexure-based force sensors by exploiting white light interferometry. Fabry-Pérot interferometry measurement has nanometric accuracy which yields sub milli-Newton force sensing accuracy. Such force sensin ...

MRI after successful eyeWatch(TM) implantation

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, André Mermoud, Sylvain Roy, Adan Villamarin

The eyeWatch(TM) is a new glaucoma drainage device that includes an adjustable mechanism that can vary the resistance to aqueous humor outflow during the postoperative period to reduce the burden of postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) management. The ...

Development of a new visual prosthesis for preclinical studies on artificial vision

Marta Jole Ildelfonsa Airaghi Leccardi

The technological evolution in materials science and microengineering favored the production of advanced visual prostheses useful for fighting blindness and to improve patients quality of life. Visual prostheses aim at replacing lost visual functions by ar ...

3-Dimensional magnetic resonance imaging of the freely moving human eye

Jérôme Yerly, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Lorenzo Di Sopra, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Silvio Ionta, Benedetta Franceschiello, David Zeugin

Eye motion is a major confound for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in neuroscience or ophthalmology. Currently, solutions toward eye stabilisation include participants fixating or administration of paralytics/anaesthetics. We developed a novel MRI protoco ...
