Researchers Decipher Neural Code of Vision

[Guest]

Researchers at Cornell University claim to have found the neural code to restore vision for those to have lost their vision due to retina defects.

Awesome.

"I'll be back!"

 

[amk09]

It may be awesome and it may not be.

I can't get the thought of emotionless robots out of my head...

Does this mean x-ray enabled microchip!??!

 

[velocityg4]

One more step toward making the Borg a reality/

Oh, my boss would love this. A borg army to cut code 24/7. Ironic, as I write this Sunday morning, from my cubical, as yet again, I've had to work another weekend. ****ARGH****

I'd pay extra for that

Of course if you pay a little extra you can get a remote control to allow you to zoom in, add Night Vision, IR or UV filters and of course Still and Video capture with Blue tooth downloads

Don't laugh, if they get the chip to work that would all be possible !
Then the question comes up if Doctors will offer to replace healthy retinas for the extra features; sort of like cosmetic surgery but to improve features instead of looks.

 

[alidan]

awsome, at some point i can yell eff this, and get eye replacements for when they get so bad im legaly blind... nice.

 

[freggo]

Ah yes, and Google/YouTube could add an EyeLive channel (if we include a GPS receiver your Location, Direction and Speed data could be overlaid ); the Apple version will be called iLive of course

Soccer, Football, Formula One and the 2020 Olympics could then offer a view thru the competitor's eyes.
Now that would be a reason to watch

And you know that certain Studios in a seedy part of Hollywood would (wood?) pick up on that too.

lol at the borg comments, its nothing more than a eye enhancement. Its in no way going to be a step forward in robotics. But it will be a leap forward for medical industry.

It would be neat if it would be adopted with micro computer properties. (=email, videos/pictures, internet, txt messages)

Sounds wonderful until the manufacturers decide to increase revenue through pop-up advertisements.

we have knee replacements, heart replacements, now the prospect of eye replacements; and yet we cannot cure bad grammar by those who are paid to write...

 

[matter37]

ah, the possibilities

 

[schnitter]

20/20 for everyone! (that can afford it)

 

[thecolorblue]

LaForge!

Digital Delay, from Boss. Classic 80's on stage.

Just stuttering

 

[ravewulf]

So when can we use our eyes as photo/video cameras (doing the reverse of what they talk about above: natural retina to digital)?

 

[jdog2pt0]

I want a brain implant that lets me take photo/video directly as I see it. Back to the topic at hand though, this is definitely good news for all the visually impaired individuals out there. Imagine an individual blind all their life finally being able to see again.
