The system would have an external camera (mounted in a glasses frame) to acquire an image and convert it into an electrical signal. This signal would be wirelessly transmitted to an implanted chip, which would electrically stimulate the non-degenerated cells of the retina. The pattern of electrical stimulation would be controlled to produce the perception of an image. Hence, the sense of vision could be partially restored with such an implantable electronic device.","PeriodicalId":415720,"journal":{"name":"2000 Digest of the LEOS Summer Topical Meetings.

This simulator focuses in particular on the modelling of the resonant cavity LED and the performance analysis.","PeriodicalId":415720,"journal":{"name":"2000 Digest of the LEOS Summer Topical Meetings.
