Implantation of Modular Photovoltaic Subretinal Prosthesis : OSLI Retina Journal
Establish the surgical procedure for subretinal implantation of multiple photovoltaic arrays for the restoration of sight. Multiple silicon photovoltaic arrays of 1 mm in diameter and 30 µm in thickness were implanted subretinally via single retinotomy in rabbits.Dae Yeong Lee, MD; Henri Lorach, PhD; Phil Huie, MSc; Daniel Palanker, PhDOphthalmic
Retinal safety of near infrared radiation in photovoltaic restoration of sight
Photovoltaic restoration of sight requires intense near-infrared light to effectively stimulate retinal neurons. We assess the retinal safety of such radiation with and without the retinal implant.H. Lorach, J. Wang, D. Y. Lee, R. Dalal, P. Huie, and D. Palanker1 Jan 2016 | Vol. 7, No. 1 | DOI:10.1364/BOE.7.000013 |
PRIMA – Interactions of Prosthetic and Natural Vision in Animals With Local Retinal Degeneration
Prosthetic restoration of partial sensory loss leads to interactions between artificial and natural inputs. Ideally, the rehabilitation should allow perceptual fusion of the two modalities. Here we studied the interactions between normal and prosthetic vision in a rodent model of local retinal degeneration.Henri Lorach; Xin Lei; Ludwig Galambos; Theodore Kamins;

ATIS – Neuromorphic engineering systems and applications. A snapshot of neuromorphic systems engineering
The papers show the results of feasibility studies of new concepts, as well as neuromorphic systems that have been constructed from more established neuromorphic technologies. Five papers exploit neuromorphic dynamic vision sensor (DVS) events that mimic the asynchronous and sparse spikes on biology's optic nerve fiber.Tobi Delbruck, André van Schaik
