Journal ArticleDOI
An insight into assistive technology for the visually impaired and blind people: state-of-the-art and future trends
TL;DR: An objective statistical survey across the various sub-disciplines in the field and applied information analysis and network-theory techniques to answer several key questions relevant to the field reveal that there has been a sustained growth in this field.

Neural Substrate Expansion for the Restoration of Brain Function.
H. Isaac Chen,H. Isaac Chen,Dennis Jgamadze,Mijail D. Serruya,D. Kacy Cullen,D. Kacy Cullen,John A. Wolf,John A. Wolf,Douglas H. Smith +8 more
TL;DR: It is contended that fulfilling the potential of brain substrate expansion will require a significant shift from current methods that emphasize direct manipulations of the brain to the generation of more sophisticated neural tissues and neural-electric hybrids in vitro that are subsequently transplanted into the brain.

Dynamic Stimulation of Visual Cortex Produces Form Vision in Sighted and Blind Humans.
Michael S. Beauchamp,Denise Oswalt,Ping Sun,Brett L. Foster,John F. Magnotti,Soroush Niketeghad,Nader Pouratian,William H. Bosking,Daniel Yoshor +8 more
TL;DR: Dynamic stimulation of visual cortex enabled accurate recognition of letter shapes predicted by the brain's spatial map of the visual world, demonstrating that a brain prosthetic can produce coherent percepts of visual forms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of neural interfaces and energy harvesters towards self-powered implantable systems for healthcare monitoring and rehabilitation purposes
TL;DR: The progress and current status of neural interfaces are reviewed, start from the well-established neuromodulation protocols and efforts to translational applications, then move on to milestones of neural interface development, and end with the review on considerations and requirements of active and inactive materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical applications of penetrating neural interfaces and Utah Electrode Array technologies.
TL;DR: The use of two of these devices, Utah electrode arrays and Utah slanted electrode arrays, are highlighted in two therapeutic interventions: recording volitional skeletal motor commands from the central nervous system and recording motor commands and evoking somatosensory percepts in the peripheral nervous system.

Global estimates of the prevalence of diabetes for 2010 and 2030.
TL;DR: These predictions, based on a larger number of studies than previous estimates, indicate a growing burden of diabetes, particularly in developing countries.

Measuring the thickness of the human cerebral cortex from magnetic resonance images
Bruce Fischl,Anders M. Dale +1 more
TL;DR: An automated method for accurately measuring the thickness of the cerebral cortex across the entire brain and for generating cross-subject statistics in a coordinate system based on cortical anatomy is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global estimates of visual impairment: 2010.
TL;DR: It is indicated that visual impairment in 2010 is a major health issue that is unequally distributed among the WHO regions; the preventable causes are as high as 80% of the total global burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
A permanent change in brain function resulting from daily electrical stimulation.
TL;DR: High-intensity stimulation studies revealed that the development of convulsions was not based simply on threshold reduction, but involved complex reorganization of function.
