In an inventors magazine I read an interesting article about a Persian Dr. Humayun. Apparently his grandmother had went blind and lost her will to live. So this inspired him to become an opthamologist.
So after studying the functions of the eye and how it malfunction he has moved to develop a chip, that when implanted in the eye, can help blind people regain sight.
Dr. Humayun discovered that in most people the nerves stayed in tact, but the photoreceptors could not convert the images into electric signals which are then relayed back to the brain through the nerves. So his device takes in the images and light and converts them into electric signals. He is already working on his second model to get it approved my the FDA.

...how does it stay a live novin...it cant possibly live on batteries or solar power or w.e else...or is it like a converter/converger/"step upper."...also, i think i heard about that a good 2-3 months ago...but their vision isn't completley restored and the effect could be dramatic, starting from confusion, & head aches, to possibly eye surgery to take out the eye, because your brain won't accept it, to death...novin go 2 my forums News, then National news

I don't think it can kill U, cause the Feds wouldn't let it through. I don't know all the details, your right it isn't completely restored but the new prototype is looking a lot better than the last one. People can see general objects such as a knife, but not the detailed, sharp edge of a knife. But he is hoping his third prototype, with enhanced codes and software, will allow for the ability to see greater detail. I don't know that much about, I only learnt about it yesterday, here is the link. novintest.proboards55.com/index.cgi?board=sciences&action=post&thread=1125506203&page=1 |

...novin...they let all sorts of things to be sold...the feds are (Im a homophobic asshole) novin and you know it...they let all these pills n such on the market, and they could kill...like all those pills on recall because they caused massive heart attacks, strokes, and death...so yeah your right...like you said it is a "prototype" so it isn't officially been released to the public and needs more work, so i bet you any money it does  |

I don't think the guy who's making this has the money to bribe the Feds. Plus the feds don't really want this becuz it solves blindess, as much as is possible.
The feds prefer stuff that does not cure diseases, but covers them. For example Ibeuprofen can't cure anything but it takes the pain away so we keep buyin it and the drug companies keep pullin in the money, same thing with this stupid heart burn crap.
