Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of an artificial vision system called Brainport system in blind patients To investigate visual, and oculomotor (eye motion) mechanisms involved in the use of the Brainport system.

DEVICE

BrainPort

This system is a novel, bionic, non-invasive, vision bypass system that conveys environment images from a spectacle-frame-mounted video-camera to the brain via an electro-tactile tongue array. The electro-tactile stimulation delivered by the tongue-array placed on the tongue allows users to interpret the images of objects in their camera's visual field
