New model shows cortical implants like Elon Musk’s Blindsight are unlikely to ‘exceed normal human vision’

Schematic of our cortical model. (A) Transformation from visual space to the cortical surface. Simulated V1 maps on the human cortical surface for (B) orientation pinwheel maps (entire cortical map

Key mechanism behind common genetic cause of age-related visual loss discovered

Optical genome mapping (OGM) effectively detects large expanded CTG18.1 alleles. (A) Detected traces after capillary electrophoresis of STR-PCR (i, iii, v) and TP-PCR (ii, iv, vi) products amplified from non-expanded

Ingredient in hair dye led to woman’s vision loss

An ingredient in the hair dye a French woman used caused her to develop a vision-robbing retinopathy, researchers report. When she switched to a dye without these ingredients, called aromatic
