Abstract
An artificial vision system includes: an ocular device configured to receive incoming light at an eye of a user and wirelessly transmit data based on the incoming light; and a neural device that is configured to receive the data and stimulate a visual cortex of a brain of the user based on the data. Stimulating the visual cortex includes selectively applying electrical pulses to one or more particular parts of the visual cortex to create artificial vision corresponding to the incoming light.
