Neurosurgery seminar: The Neuralink Implant as a Visual Prosthesis

The Department of Neurosurgery will be hosting Daniel L. Adams, Ph.D. from Neuralink. Dan will be giving a research seminar on The Neuralink Implant as a Visual Prosthesis next Tuesday, February 4th, at 4pm in the John Morgan Reunion Auditorium.

Speaker: Daniel L. Adams, Principal Investigator at Neuralink

Title: The Neuralink Implant as a Visual Prosthesis

Abstract: Neuralink has developed a general purpose neural implant capable of recording from and stimulating the cerebral cortex. The implant connects wirelessly to an external computer to transmit neural signals and receive commands to evoke neural activity by electrical stimulation. Its first application is to enable effortless computer use for people with paralysis. I will describe the technological basis of the implant and present data from pre-clinical studies developing its potential to restore visual perception to the blind.

When: 4pm, Tuesday February 4th
