Trials on second site medical web site report; “They are able to see, despite having no visual function in their eyes, by using Orion, a visual cortical prosthesis that has been surgically implanted in the brain. The Orion is being tested at Baylor as part of collaboration with Second Sight Medical Products (Los Angeles, Calif.). Dr. Daniel Yoshor, chair and professor of neurosurgery at Baylor, is using the visual cortical prosthesis to support research he has been working on for more than a decade, together with Baylor neuroscientists Dr. William Bossing, assistant professor of neurosurgery, and Dr. Michael Beauchamp, professor of neurosurgery. To put it simply, they are bypassing broken optical nerves that don’t work and inputting visual information seen by a camera that is part of the Orion device directly into the brain.”
