It then provides details on the anatomy and function of the eye and retina. It discusses two major causes of retinal degeneration - retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. The document outlines the need for bionic eyes to restore lost vision. It describes the basic components and working of a bionic eye system like the Argus II, which uses a camera and transmitter to stimulate a retinal implant. The goal is to increase the resolution of implants to allow reading and facial recognition.
The document discusses the bionic eye, which aims to restore sight for those with vision impairment. It works by bypassing non-functioning photoreceptors and using a retinal implant connected to a camera to convert images into electrical signals that stimulate the retina. The latest version, Argus II, has been approved for use in Europe since 2011 and the US since 2013. It consists of an implant with electrodes that is surgically placed on the retina, connected to external glasses with a camera and processing unit. The camera captures scenes and the processing unit converts them into signals sent to the implant wirelessly via the glasses, stimulating the retina and allowing basic vision.
1. Scientists are developing a bionic eye called an artificial retina that could restore vision. It works by using a small implanted chip with light-sensitive cells that transmit signals to the optic nerve and brain.
2. The chip detects incoming light and transmits electrical signals to stimulate remaining retinal cells. Early versions used silicon but now scientists are testing ceramic cells that are safer for the human body.
3. The surgery to implant the chip involves making small incisions to insert the chip and use fluid to lift the retina and seal it over the chip. The goal is to replace damaged photoreceptor cells and restore basic vision.
This document summarizes an artificial silicon retina (ASR) seminar presentation. It describes how ASR technology works to restore vision by implanting a microchip retinal prosthesis that converts light into electrical signals. The ASR is small enough to fit in the eye and receives power from light, without needing batteries. It sends signals through the optic nerve to the brain, allowing some patients to perceive images. However, ASR technology remains highly experimental and can only provide basic vision currently. Much more research is still needed to develop it further.
The document discusses bionic eyes, which are electrical prosthetics surgically implanted in humans to allow vision for those who have severe retinal damage. It explains that a bionic eye works through a camera that captures images and sends the information to a microprocessor. The microprocessor converts the data to electrical signals that are transmitted to a receiver and then to an electrode panel implanted on the retina. The retinal implant emits pulses along the optic nerve to the brain, which perceives patterns of light and dark corresponding to the stimulated electrodes. The advantages are diagnostic capability and compact size, while disadvantages include high cost and risk of the device failing if any single part is damaged.
The document describes the development of an "Electronic Eye" technology to help restore vision. Researchers are creating an artificial retina made of silicon microchips that can be implanted in the eye. The chips contain photodiodes that convert light into electrical signals to bypass retinal cells damaged by conditions like macular degeneration. Early results show people able to see spots of light or basic shapes. The technology relies on a small camera, processor, and implants in the visual cortex to allow some sight. This could help the millions of people worldwide suffering from blindness.
visual prosthesis replicates the natural vision of the eye and are one of the newer innovations in the field of ophthalmology. Helps in degenerative disease like Age related macular degeneration , retinitis pigmentosa etc.
This document summarizes research on developing artificial vision systems to restore sight for the blind. It describes two key technologies: the artificial silicon retina and artificial retina component chip. The artificial silicon retina is a microchip implanted in the eye that contains photodiodes that convert light into electrical signals to stimulate the retina. The artificial retina component chip is similar and provides a 10x10 or 250x250 pixel visual field. The document explains how these devices work and the surgical process for implantation. It also outlines an artificial vision system using a camera, signal processor and brain implants to transmit images and provide a limited form of artificial sight.
The document discusses bionic eyes, which are electronic devices that can replace dysfunctional parts of the eye and restore vision. It describes two approaches for a bionic eye - an artificial silicon retina (ASR) which is a microchip implanted under the retina, and a multi-unit artificial retina chipset (MARC) which uses an external camera, transmitter and implanted chip and electrodes. Both aim to stimulate remaining healthy retinal cells and transmit signals to the brain to provide a limited form of artificial vision. However, challenges remain in developing a bionic eye with sufficient resolution and long-term durability.
This document summarizes research on developing artificial vision systems to restore sight to blind individuals. It describes two main approaches: retinal implants like the artificial silicon retina that replace photoreceptors in the retina, and cortical implants that stimulate the visual cortex. The document outlines how these systems work, including capturing images with a camera and processing signals to stimulate the retina or brain. It also discusses the current limitations of artificial vision and ongoing research needed to improve image clarity and functionality for blind individuals.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

4. Working of human eye :
The eye is one of the most important organs of
the body. Before we learn about ASR, it is
important to know the working of natural retina.
The light coming from an object enters the eye
through cornea and pupil and forms inverted
image on the retina.
The light sensitive cells of the retina gets
activated with the incidence of light and generate
electric signals. These electric signals are sent to
the brain by the optic nerves and the brain
interprets the electrical signals in such away that
we see an image .
5. Diseases
Age related macular degeneration(AMD or ARMD): Macular degeneration,
often age-related macular degeneration , is a medical condition that usually
affects older adults and results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual
field (the macula) because of damage to the retina.
6. Retinitis Pigmentosa
It is a chronic hereditary eye disease characterized by black pigmentation,
gradual degeneration of the retina and causes narrowing of vision.
7. History of BIONIC EYE :
-Dr.Mark Humayun, Dr. Eugene Dejuan along with few more scientists
demonstrated that a visually impaired person could be made to see light by
stimulating the optic nerves behind the retina with electrical impulses. This
test proved that the nerves behind retina still functioned even when the
retina had degenerated.
Based on this scientists set out to create a devise that could translate images
to electrical pulses that could restore vision.
Groups of researchers have found that blind people can see spots of light when
electrical currents stimulate cells, following the experimental insertion of an
electrode device near to the retina.
The main target of the research was:
small enough to be implanted in the eye.
supplied with a continuous source of power.
bio-compatible with eye tissues and its surroundings.
8. WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL RETINA
TECHNOLOGY???
Artificial Retinas are referred to as visual prosthesis, it is also known as a
bionic eye
It is an experimental visual device intended to restore functional vision in
those suffering from partial or total blindness
In this presentation we will be discussing about the Artificial Retina made
using. Thin-Film Transistors, which can be fabricated on transparent and
exible substrates. Electronic photo devices and circuits are integrated on the
artificial retina, which is implanted on the inside surface of the living retina
at the back part of the human eyeballs.
9. RETINAL IMPLANTATION:-
A retinal implant is a biomedical implant technology currently being
developed by a number of private companies and research institutions
worldwide. The first application of an implantable stimulator for vision
restoration was developed by Drs. Brindley and Lewin in 1968. The implant is
meant to partially restore useful vision to people who have lost their vision.
There are two types of retinal implants namely epiretinal implant and
subretinal implant.
11. Camera mounted on eye Glasses:
This camera is placed on the goggles.
The camera captures the image and
converts it into pixels of black and
white.
The battery required for this is provided
from the video processing unit.
Video processing unit (VPU) :
Video Processing Unit is device which
simplifies the image as spots of light and
then reduces the image to the number
of photodiodes. This is connected to
goggles through connecting wires.
12. Eye Implant :
These are the
MICROELECTRODES array.
68 flat platinum electrodes
of 1mm diameter are
pierced through the holes
into the nucleus of neurons
of the occipital lobe.
13.
14. Working of BIONIC EYE :
The camera mounted on a pair of eyeglasses, captures the scene in
front of the wearer and sends it to VPU on the patient's belt.
The processor translates the image into a series of signals that the
brain can understand. The group of wires pass the processed image
which are generated by the processor to the transmitter.
RF transmitter sends the signal to the RF receiver which is near the
eye implant wirelessly.
Receiver attains the transmitted signal and demodulation is done
which is sent to the microelectrode strip.
These electrodes converts it into electrical pulses and provide it to
the optic nerve.
15. Advantages :
Identify the location or movement of objects and people.
Recognize large letters, words or sentences.
Helps in other activities of daily life, such as detecting street curbs and walking on a
sidewalk without stepping off.
Ability to perform visual tasks demonstrated in many patients.
Upgradable external hardware and software to benefit from future innovations.
The brain has an amazing ability to adapt to new input and to improve his or her
understanding of what is being “seen” via an artificial vision system.
