Hi,
I have studied Electronics.
A friend of mine is blind on one eye. Isn't it possible
To connect light sensors (or a complete optical camera chip)
to the optical nerve in the eye ?
I understood that there are milions of these nerve endings in the
eye.
I have heard of a similair connection to nerve cells involved with hearing.
The brain automatically sorts out the information stream.
I mean with my friend there is still an optical nerve. It's his eye
that doen't work anymore.
Is this a stupid idea, or is it simply too dificult to do ?
What I'd like to know is how do the optic nerve cells pick up signals, and
how do "bio sensors" in genaral work.
Like touch and heat/cold sensations.
I know it is a electrical/chemical process that starts somewhere.
Fill me in.
Ronald Kaim.
