The third implantation of the Intracortical Visual Prosthesis (ICVP) in a blind patient has been completed successfully, according to a press release issued by the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago. The device is described as “a wireless brain implant designed to provide artificial vision for people with total blindness by bypassing the eyes and optic nerves and connecting directly to the brain’s visual cortex.” The surgery was performed at Rush University Medical Center, Chicago.
