Bionic eye







The pfromise is sending digital data directly to embedded nano devices able to stimiulate the visual cortex area.  this can vovbviously progress.  Better yet a wrking mesh can be laid over the brain while the originating hardware can be steadily improved wirthout affecting the eyes.

suddenly those large oval eyes seen on observed aliens make great sense.  No hard wiring to the biology.

They can also accomadate a far wider range in spectrum as wrll.  Again i do think ET is humanity from our bfuture adapted to space.


🚨 IT BYPASSES THE RETINA. IT BYPASSES THE OPTIC NERVE. IT SENDS IMAGES STRAIGHT TO THE BRAIN. 🗣👁️ Australian scientists have achieved something historic: a bionic eye that doesn't need functioning eyes to work. The device bypasses the retina and optic nerve entirely — sending visual information directly to the brain's visual cortex. A micro-camera embedded in glasses captures the environment, the signal is converted into electrical impulses, electrodes implanted in the brain deliver those impulses to the visual cortex, and the patient perceives points of light, shapes, movement, and spatial orientation. It's not full vision, but it's enough to walk, identify large objects, and navigate unfamiliar spaces. This is the first visual bypass system to achieve such solid results in humans, and researchers are now refining electrode distribution to create richer, more stable images. Millions affected by glaucoma, macular degeneration, or optic nerve damage could one day regain a sense thought lost forever. Australia just blurred the line between biology and engineering. Sight rebuilt from scratch.
