The Technology That Could Make Blind People See Again

  • April 5 -- Neuroscientist Sheila Nirenberg received a MacArthur Genius Award for figuring out, for the first time ever, how our retinas take images from the outside world and turn them into a neural “code” that the brain can understand. It started as a pure research project, but now she’s building the code into a device that could bring sight to the blind. (Video by Alan Jeffries)

    Interesting, maybe it has possibilities, but it's too early to get overly excited yet. I'm legally blind. Anything that could make my vision near normal would help, and that's exciting. But the human eye and the nerves that send the images and the brain that processes them? That's hugely complex. The retina has this enormous array of tiny cells to pick up an image finer than any camera or computer screen. How your eyes, nerves, and brain manage that huge amount of information in real-time to create a visual, meaningful image is a tough task to figure out. What are the tricks the eye, nerves, and brain use to gather the raw information from the real world and then send it and then process it? If we can get even a simple, basic idea of how our vision works, that would help towards restoring sight, either biologically (transplants or cell/tissue/organ repair) or with prosthetics (implants and/or external devices like artificial eyes). I would love for something to work. The research looks very early and just a rough approximation, but that is fine. I sure hope the research can continue and will help somehow.

    Even better is an implantable patch of genetically engineered cells to restore the macula, which is where central vision is performed by the eye. They are using it in England, and UC Berkeley is working on it, but not available for us yet. Anything electronic will always be second best.
