(YouTube) #Neuralink is aiming to give a bit of competition to Second Sight Medical Products' Orion visual cortical prosthesis and to the similar Russian ELVIS implant youtu.be/CkUcCcRq_eM?t= by

I can't believe a video from Elon gets immediately millions of views but this great video from @shivon has only 700 views so far. I really like her energy and enthusiasm describing #neuralink A real force of nature #womenintech thx @Gianluc59668963 youtube.com/watch?v=CkUcCc

[...] "also inserting these devices into visual cortex, with the thought that our second or maybe third application in humans will be just visually reconstructing images for people who are blind"

Replying to

@shivon
AFAIK, *all* companies working on penetrating thin electrodes in cortex are still struggling to get a decent device lifetime, and unlike in semiconductor industry you cannot accelerate effective lifetime testing by heating a device or using higher voltages/currents; #FDA stuff

It will be interesting to see how the effective bandwidth of a Neuralink visual cortical prosthesis compares to that of The vOICe

Currently available evidence suggests that functional vision offered by the Orion I visual cortical prosthesis system is significantly outperformed by The vOICe vision glasses, at low cost and w/o surgery twitter.com/seeingwithsoun Independent benchmarking is welcome #AAO2019
