The popular Dutch science magazine, KIJK, has made a selection of the top 20 technology ideas of 2021. Our neuroprosthesis for vision restoration in the

The NESTOR consortium is delighted to announce that we are showcasing our work on a visual neuroprosthesis at the NEMO Science Museum this summer (2021),

In the future, blind users of a neuroprosthesis for vision restoration could receive tiny electrical currents via a device that is implanted in their brain,

Visual mental imagery is the quasi-perceptual experience of “seeing in the mind’s eye.” While it has been well established that there is a strong relationship

The human brain contains many neurons, the activity of which, when measured, respond differently to specific types of visual input. These neurons can be divided

In this exciting episode of the popular children’s TV series, ‘Klaas Kan Alles,’ Klaas’s challenge is to drive around a race track in a go-kart,

For a visual prosthesis to be useful in daily life, the system relies on image processing to ensure that maximally relevant information is conveyed, e.g.

We developed a mobile simulator of phosphene vision, to allow the general public to experience how artificially induced phosphene vision would look like for blind

Our recently published results in Science on the efficacy of using a 1024-channel neuroprosthesis for the generation of artificial vision gained coverage in national and

Scientists have long dreamed of restoring vision in blind individuals by stimulating the visual cortex, bypassing malfunctioning eyes to directly deliver information to higher visual

Recent advances in neuroscience and technology have made it possible to record from large assemblies of neurons and to decode their activity to extract information.

Recent discoveries from NESTOR Project 3 show that newly developed high-resolution implants in the visual cortex make it possible to recognize artificially induced shapes and
