Yes. Vid link please!
Check reply above
It's a load of shit. I'll believe they have this level of tech when blind people can truly see, and when cancer is completely obliterated.
well, the blind folks may be a good yardstick but cancer will never be cured. There is WAY to much money in cancer research and cancer treatment to ever let a cure hit the open market. When a cure is found it is immediately shelved back in the back of the deepest closet and the search for a cure continues.
I don't buy into that conspiracy theory. That's like saying a faster CPU will never be released because there's too much profit in the current speed CPUs.
It's called competition. If someone can cure cancer they will happily take the billions they will make away from the pharma labs and their patented chemo therapies.
I don't think so. The cure would be worth millions I'm sure. But once the patient is cured then you loose your customer. Research and treatment is worth trillions of dollars annually worldwide and your customer base is always there for you. They never go away unless your cure them.
a very low-resolution semblance of the world represented by glowing white-yellow dots and shapes.
When the implant is inserted, the electrodes pierce the surface of the brain; when it’s removed, 100 tiny droplets of blood form in the holes.
The big downside to the prosthesis—and the primary reason Gómez couldn’t keep hers beyond six months—is that nobody knows how long the electrodes can last without degrading either the implant or the user’s brain. “The body’s immune system starts to break down the electrodes and surround them with scar tissue, which eventually weakens the signal,” Fernandez says. There’s also the problem of the electrodes flexing as someone moves around.
At 10 pixels by 10 pixels, which is roughly the maximum potential resolution Gómez’s implant could render, one may perceive basic shapes like letters, a door frame, or a sidewalk. But the contours of a face, let alone a person, are far more complicated.
Not exactly there yet are we?
precisely.
