Visual improvement was observed after electrical stimulation of the visual cortex in a study by Miguel Hernández de Elche University.
The man, who had been blind for more than three years, recovered some of his natural vision spontaneously during the preliminary tests, long before the device began to transmit processed artificial images
A Spanish patient who had been completely blind for over three years due to severe nerve damage partially regained his natural vision after receiving a brain implant. Remarkably, the improvement persisted even after the implant was later removed. For a study, a team from the Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche […] Want to learn more about science?

A patient with total blindness caused by irreversible damage to the optic nerve has partially recovered natural vision after participating in a clinical trial of electrical stimulation of the visual cortex conducted by researchers from the Miguel Hernández de Elche University (UMH) and the CIBER‐BBN Consortium. The case, described in Brain Communications magazine, was observed in the framework of a study aimed at evaluating the safety and viabil…
The case, observed in the framework of a study designed to assess the safety and viability of a cortical visual prosthesis, has surprised the researchers by showing spontaneous visual improvement, sustained during the time and independent of the implant. The Biomedical Neuroengineering laboratory of the UMH has so far conducted four clinical trials with blind volunteers. In this context, scientists have identified a phenomenon as exceptional as …
