Retinal prosthesis
The document describes the anatomy and signal processing of the human retina and visual system, from photoreceptors to the visual cortex. It also compares this to the components and function of a bionic retinal prosthesis system, which includes a camera, processor, transmitter and electrode array that aims to replace photoreceptor function and stimulate retinal ganglion cells.
