Abstract
Visual restoration is certainly the greatest challenge for brain-machine interfaces with the high pixel number and high refreshing rate. In the recent year, we brought retinal prostheses and optogenetic therapy up to successful clinical trials. Concerning visual restoration at the cortical level, prostheses have shown efficacy for limited periods of time and limited pixel numbers. We are investigating the potential of sonogenetics to develop a non-contact brain machine interface allowing long-lasting activation of the visual cortex. The presentation will introduce our genetic-based brain machine interfaces for visual restoration at the retinal and cortical levels.
