Electrical stimulation of the human visual cortex; preliminary report

Electrical stimulation of the human visual cortex; preliminary report

A Talalla et al. Can J Neurol Sci. 1974 Nov.

Abstract

A feasibility study for the development of a human visual prosthesis has led several workers to observe the effects of electrical stimulation of the human visual cortex. Experience with such stimulations of three normal-sighted patients is reported. The results confirm some of the findings of other workers, but do not show that multiple phosphenes were experienced by our patients, using strictly limited parameters of stimulation.
