A new method of non-invasiv e prosthetic devices for sensory impaire d people is proposed. These prosthetic devices are based on the transformation o f inaccessible stimulus to impaired sensor y modalities. Blind people would receiv e information about the visual world through their auditory senses and deaf people woul d receive information about the auditory world through their visual senses . (At the end of the article are brief note s addressing the needs of blind-dea f individuals and… Expand

Optophone design: optical-to-auditory vision substitution for the blind
TLDR
The present project is intended to produce a general-purpose optophone to be worn on the head about the house and in the street, to give the wearer a detailed description in sound of the'scene he is facing. Expand
A Robust Encoding Scheme for Delivering Artificial Sensory Information via Direct Brain Stimulation
TLDR
The first comprehensive measurement of the resolution of key stimulation parameters such as pulse amplitude, pulse width, frequency, train interval and number of pulses is reported, finding the charge-per-phase of each pulse yields the highest resolution sensory signal, and is the key parameter modulating perceived intensity.

TLDR
The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or her own research. Expand

This is a very complicated story, so I will only try to sketch it briefly; other speakers will indicate in much more detail some of the beautiful results which have been and are being obtained. Expand
Chapter 7 – SYNAPTIC COMMUNICATION
TLDR
This chapter describes how cells communicate with each other through chemically mediated transmission, which involves a secretion of a chemical transmitter that diffuses across the synaptic cleft to the postsynaptic membrane and leads to its depolarization or hyperpolarization. Expand
