They do have custom made "gas" contact lenses that use gentle compression to push the pupil closer back to the eye. They fix your eyes when you sleep but the lenses are brittle & break easily, they cost $800 where I live, so I could not afford them all the time I had to stop using them, my eye sight just went back to bad within 3 days

I lost vision in one eye as a child. In 1968, that blind eye was becoming painful and I discussed with my ophthalmologist having that eye removed to relieve the pain. But I will never forget what my ophthalmologist told me, that he would not recommend removal of that eye because sometime in my lifetime we will have technology such as this. Well, I am pretty old now, I have waited long enough and have managed very well in life with just my one eye. But what is happening now is seeing his dreams come true. Unfortunately he didn't live to see this day. This is less than ideal IMO, but it is a promising start.

I’m legally blind in my left eye. I have had surgery to remove a benign growth in my iris. It led to cataracts. So I had cataract surgery along with a lens replacement. Years later I had laser cataract removal surgery. The laser surgery led to three blind spots in my vision from my left eye. I can see out of it but it is like looking through a kaleidoscope. The beginning of my case is documented at the University of Iowa. My primary doctor was Dr. Weingeist. I was told it was a unique situation because the growth was 1 in a billion. Very rarely studied before.

[@aracelylopezpsyd5794]

You make such a great point regarding the need to take into account the way that long-term tech advancements could impact early recipients of new technologies directly implanted in our bodies. The other issue people need to be prepared for is that not everyone's bodies will be capable of accepting foreign objects necessary for these technologies. My mother was a recipient of an experimental pain management device, but it was rejected by her body and not caught on time. This led to infection, but even worse, her physician suddenly left the country when she was still dealing with needing to have the device removed. She had to find a physician willing to take on the liability of removing an experimental device that had already caused infection. It sadly made her long-term pain worse than what she started with (due to signal disc replacement). I hope researchers and these corporations who are eager to gain financially from these technologies will be responsible and honest about the potential risks involved AND establish protections that will ensure all patients are taken care of no matter what may go wrong.

Even from the most draconian selfish government expenditure perspective, these are possibly the most vulnerable people that already likely have government support it makes sense that by ensuring its supported properly will actually ensure a reduced long term government expenditure since they have been given the ability to go back to a fruitful life working or not.

I don't know the specific resolution they were able to achieve, but I know it was pretty low. It did work, though. Somehow the brain was able to reinterpret electrical signals on the tongue as visual signals. IHMC is a non-profit research institute, so you can probably find better info on this online.

You might not be aware, but there are way more types of batteries than just the ones in our smartphones.

As for safety, it's totally possible to make batteries that physically can't catch fire, even if they get damaged. This is especially doable for low-power devices. So, the issues like battery degradation, swelling, and even fires, can be pretty much tackled with the right battery tech.

Do you think new tech like this would have the ability to correct a condition like this?

[@crusher9z9]

I think folding the flap back to where its supposed to be is a much more reasonable solution.

[@crusher9z9]

Or wrinkle if you meant that. Im sure you could soften the tissue and it would fix itself if its a wrinkle.

I'm a simpleton, but it seems relatively straightforward to attach a camera onto a pair of glasses. Then use AI to split the image into two images. Then for patients who only have one eye available, you could just display the two images for the one eyeball. I mean, this wouldn't solve told blindness, but it would give patients who only have one eye perfect vision.

[@1234567895182]

I don't know about "perfect" as depth would still be difficult. But that would be an interesting idea for sure!

[@ghoulishtheories7979]

@1234567895182 - Until they add the option to zoom. (For a monthly subscription of course! I already know the name of it: “Neuralink+”)

[@efraim6960]

for the one-eyed case, i don't think that's how the visual system works. the eyes are independent of each other and you can't just combine the inputs for both eyes on a single eyeball. but even if you send the video to the non-functioning eye, how would you combine the input of a working eye and the input from the camera for the non-working eye? the scenarios discussed in the video are for people with blindness on both eyes.

[@royromano9792]

@@efraim6960 yeah I don't know how it works either. But what I would do is basically have a camera inside the dead eyeball and over the good eyeball, then just modify the image until the brain thinks it's regular vision. Again, I'm a simpleton and I don't know anything. It just seems like an interesting idea.

Not any time soon. I am legally blind and when I saw the example on screen I wanted to laugh, or maybe cry. It is so much worse than my vision and the irony is that anybody who has enough vision to see that example, will have the same problem. Only people who have less than 1% vision will benefit from this at this stage. Now I understand why my doctor said this would not be useful for me.

If it's possible to hack these brain chips, people can be forced to see things that aren't there. It could be as simple as seeing adverts all the time, or as horrible as seeing computer generated monsters as if they were right in front of you in real life. This tech is cool but worrying.

[@antoniobutcher]

or maybe cause physical pain

[@joshua43214]

I don't think you understand how easy it is to create a data stream that is essentially un-hackable. No one actually gets "hacked" via software, it pretty much always human error. Consider your phone can encrypt everything on the fly so fast you are not even aware of it. This encryption is essentially unbreakable (tho rumour say the NSA can do it).

[@siphomyende6285]

@@joshua43214 Great point. Do you think it's possible for AI to learn a work around in the future that could be used against bionic implant users. To me, it seems the capabilities of machine learning are nearly limitless.

[@joshua43214]

@@siphomyende6285 AI? no. AI, could, in theory make better guesses at personal passwords if it can gather enough personal info. But it will not be any better at random or partly random passwords. quantum computing though will change encryption forever. But even the best algorithm can be rendered ineffective by adding a short delay in the handshake - being able to test a million passwords a second is meaningless if it takes a second for the encrypted file to respond.

They’re more excited about monopolizing our brains and taking advantage of people with disabilities…you know more than doing stem cell research that isn’t as profitable.

AI will probably solve that.

[@lemonmelon2612]

@@broadcastliveTV Yeah but why use AI before we understand the biology behind it? To me it seems dangerous to use a medium (AI) we don’t understand to aid a biological organism that we also don’t fully understand. Just seems problematic and too many unknowns always leads to something bad. Let’s figure out stem cells, then, figure out the current scope of AI. Then see which one is more economical viable and safe to use as treatment.

[@Telencephelon]

13:58 Yes in precicely mapped out locations. But mostly to have a regular distance and to avoid hitting blood vessels during the surgery. We are not in the 1980's anymore. The electrodes use beamforming and so with three elelctrodes you can reach an addressable voxel density that is merely limited by the signal to noise ratio and PSR. Also there are many, many transduction layers that are only made possible by AI to put this into a comprehensive set of technologies

[@Telencephelon]

It clearly shows you are a visual doctor. I highly recommend watching Intel cognitive researcher Joscha Bach and Michael Levine. You don't need to transmit 8 million pixels or the bandwidth since vision doesn't work that way. It's all baysian networks. Of course it depends on the patient whether they already had a fully trained visual cortex or was blind since birth. Also I guess, knowing Elon Musk, he and his team will be smart enough to learn and study through animal models first when it comes to the visual cortext. You can train on one million mouse brains and it isn't so hard to come up with visual tests. What Neuralink really wants to acoomplish is to move on all fronts at equal pace

So, if your optic nerve is more or less dead (atrophied), e.g. some forms of Lebers, this would help. Is that correct?
