Human visual system:

Prosthetics are artificial substitutions to the organs
of the body which are disabled. Neurons of the
human      visual      system      exhibit    electrical
properties.Cornea (dome), pupil (center of iris),
crystalline lens (inverted), vitreous retina (into
electrical pulses), optic nerves and occipital
lobe constitute basic parts of eye.

Neurons send and receive electro-chemical
signals to and from the brain up to
200mph.The chemicals like sodium and
potassium cause an electrical signal in the
neurons. When a neuron is not sending a
signal, it is “at rest”, then the inside of the
neuron is negative with respect to outside. The
resting membrane of the neuron is about
-70mv. When the depolarization reaches about
-55mv the neuron then fire an action potential                 1) DIGITAL ARTIFICIAL VISION:

IMAGE PROCESSING (EDGE DETECTION):

Edge detection through SOBEL filters is the
most common approach.
The gradient vectors of SOBEL filter are Gx
and Gy.
The masks used to implement these two
equations are called Sobel operators

   3) OCULAR PROSTHESIS (FALSE EYE):




Traumatic accidents and treatment of ocular and orbital cancers, blind and painful eyes, and other
diseases sometimes lead to the need for reconstruction of the orbit (eye socket). Also orbital implant
called (enucleation).
       •      The false eye is designed after taking moldings of the patient’s orbital tissues and
       eyelids, such that, the prosthesis fits nicely and comfortably.
       •      The BIONIC EYE implants are of porous polyethylene, (Medpor), and of aluminum
       oxide, (Bioceramic) or hydroxyapatite, kryolite glass or acrylic materials.
       •      After implant they allow blood vessels to grow in them.
       •      Usually there is a significant build-up of salt and protein deposits on the eye in one
       year's time. Polishing removes these potentially irritating deposits.
       •      Artificial drops are added to desilt eye.
       •      After orbital implant, it is difficult for the casual observer to distinguish the natural
       eye from the implant.
       •      Currently camera of 100*100 pixels has been implemented.

Nano Vision Chip System:



      •      Age related retinal diseases like macular dysfunction, retinitis
      pigmentosa can be averted using nano tubes.
      •      Normally, when light rays or images are focused by the lens of the eye
      onto the retina, light-sensitive cells called "rods" and "cones" convert the light
      into electrical impulses that travel to the brain and are interpreted as images of
      the world around us. "[The retina] actually does some of the image processing,
      and then sends this information to the brain, and so we see.




      The Nano Vision Chip System consists of



            1.   A low Power CMOS camera mounted on a spectacle.
            2.   A Image processing device
            3.   Transmission device
            4.   Signal conditioner
            5.   Electrode array




                                                                                      8
•      CNT at Nano scale reduces background noise, magnifies signal and
      provides desired redundance.
      •      Zinc oxide nano wires are used here to transfer the signal from the signal
      conditioner to the CNT array.
      •      Nano batteries have long shelf life, predicted to last for 15-20 years.
The NVCS working can be studied as two parts – Intraocular and Extra ocular



Extraocular (Outside the Eye)



   •   The Images are received by the CMOS camera
   •   The microprocessor based image processor processes the images thus received.
       The processing may be either digital image processing or neural based image
       processing.
   •   The signal so obtained is PWM encoded and modulated using ASK.


5) MEMS:



                (MEMS) based adaptive optics phoropter. When light enters the eye,
nearly 127 million rods and cones, which are the photoreceptors in the retina, initiate
a series of electrical signals so rapid that the images the eye receives appear to be
continuously updated in a seamless process. A breakdown in this light-conversion
process can lead to vision impairment or loss of sight. A new optical device, called the
microelectromechanical systems– (MEMS-) based adaptive optics phoropter (MAOP),
will greatly improve this process. It allows clinicians to integrate a computer-
calculated measurement of eyesight with a patient’s response to the target image.
Patients can immediately see how objects will look—and the clinician can adjust the
prescription—before they are fitted for contacts or undergo surgery. As a result,
patients will experience better vision correction outcomes, especially with custom
contact lenses or laser refractive surgery. A microelectrode array developed for a
retinal prosthesis device. The electrodes are embedded in silicone-based substrate
polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). PDMS is a promising material for the microelectrode
array, providing flexibility, robustness, and biocompatibility for long-term
implantation.



                 The array will serve as the interface between an electronic imaging
system and the eye, providing electrical stimulation normally generated by the
photoreceptors that convert visual signals to electrical signals transmitted to the optic


                                                                                        9
nerves. The electrode array          is   embedded    in   a   silicone-based    substrate,
polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).




a) A prototype of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) array used in testing. (b) Cross-section
of an eight-electrode PDMS device shows conductive lead and electrode metallization
contained between two layers of PDMS. Reinforcement ribs facilitate handling of the
thin PDMS device. A tack hole is used to pin the device to the retina.



                      The device is designed to be epiretinal; that is, it will be placed on
the surface of the retina inside the eye. The implant will overlap the center of the eye’s
visual field, which is the area affected in macular degeneration. Once implanted, a
small camera attached to eyeglasses will capture a video signal that will be processed
and transmitted inside the eye using a radio-frequency (rf) link. The rf link is
composed of an external rf coil that will either be part of the eyeglass apparatus or will
rest on the eyeball like a contact lens. Another rf coil inside the eye will pick up the
signal and transmit it to electronics that will format the signal for stimulating the
electrode array. The power for the circuitry, or microchip system, will be provided
inductively through transcutaneous coupling. That is, a coil attached to a battery on
the side of the eyeglasses will inductively generate power in a coil parallel to it under
the skin.




                                                                                         10
FUTURE APPLICATIONS:




1. As now, only black and white images are seen by this AVS system, research is being
carried to visualize coloured images by using optical fiber technology.



2. Research is being carried to replace the electrode implantation with ray or wave
devices



3. Reduction of electrodes to 4, by operating into optic nerve directly. It involves usage
of stimulator chip, radio antenna and signal processor.




                                                                                       11
4. Electrical signaling, osmotic pumping, and molecular detection.



5. In the future the whole setup (excluding the camera) in NVCS can be nano
fabricated on a single chip thereby making it more feasible and sophisticated.



CONCLUSION:



      •     This invention is not only the fruit of one branch of science; it involves
      the participation of different branches of science.
      •     This concludes every professional relating to a branch of science should
      have a interesting view towards other branches of science also.
      •     “WISHING A REMARKABLE PROGRESS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
      ARTIFICIAL VISION SYSTEM, SUCH THAT EACH AND EVERY BLIND PERSON
      TODAY, IS NEVER A BLIND TOMMOROW.”
      •     Striving to eliminate the word “BLIND” from our vocabulary.

The visually true in the case of millions who cannot see. impaired are the most unfortunate people bearing Injuries or genetic defects may cause darkness throughout their life. A blind mans quench for vision has made destinated science to blindness at any stage of life and this is really tour its journey. Since vision depends mainly on unfortunate. This paper looks at an adept way nervous system, it would mean trying to heal or to overcome this adverse glitch in humans and change the nervous system. It would be better to tell visionise the blind. Since vision depends -“we see with our brains than with our eyes”. The sole principle used to visionise a blind is mainly on nervous system, it would mean –“DECEIVING OUR BRAINS”. Evolution in trying to heal or change the nervous system.

Neurons of the human visual system exhibit electrical properties.Cornea (dome), pupil (center of iris), crystalline lens (inverted), vitreous retina (into electrical pulses), optic nerves and occipital lobe constitute basic parts of eye. Retinal “Transducer”: An equivalent circuit of a retina is realized using - A distributed MOSFET - Three MOSFETs - Two Photo Diodes - Two Current Mirrors The functions of Photoreceptors, Bipolar Cells and Horizontal cells are implemented by this circuit. Neurons send and receive electro-chemical signals to and from the brain up to 200mph.The chemicals like sodium and potassium cause an electrical signal in the neurons. When a neuron is not sending a signal, it is “at rest”, then the inside of the neuron is negative with respect to outside. The resting membrane of the neuron is about -70mv. When the depolarization reaches about -55mv the neuron then fire an action potential 1) DIGITAL ARTIFICIAL VISION: (signal). This is the threshold level. When the When a person is born blind, inwardly his action potential is fired we start to visualize. optic nerve would not function properly.

Electrode implantation is one of the most critical jobs in this artificial vision system. Interfaces with camera. Important areas of computing are The first step done in this electrode magnification in software (C, C++). implantation is perforating a platinum foil ground plant with a hexagonal array of 5 mm b) Micro controller: diameter holes on 3 mm centers on the skull at the right occipital lobe. Simulation delivered to each electrode typically consists of a train of six pulses delivered at 30 Hz to produce each frame of the image at a speed of 8 frames per second. IMAGE PROCESSING (EDGE DETECTION): Edge detection through SOBEL filters is the most common approach. The gradient vectors of SOBEL filter are Gx and Gy. The masks used to implement these two equations are called Sobel operators Gx= (Z3 + 2Z8 + Z9) - (Z1 + 2Z2 + Z3) 68 flat platinum electrodes of 1mm diameter Gy= (Z3 + 2Z6 + Z9) - (Z1 + 2Z4 + Z7) are pierced from the center of the holes on the platinum foil ground plant into the nucleus of neurons of the occipital lobe Each electrode is connected by a separate Teflon insulated insulated wire to a connector 0 1 2 contained in the pedestal. A group of wires from the belt mounted signal -1 0 1 processor are connected to the connector 2 -1 0 mated to the pedestal. The groups of wires pass the electrical impulses which are generated by the processor with respect to the 2 -1 0 image being seen by the video camera.When the electrode is stimulated by the processor by 3

The original image seen by the camera and phosphene image seen by the visual field in the brain of the blind human are as shown as per his capability to grab 3) OCULAR PROSTHESIS (FALSE EYE): Traumatic accidents and treatment of ocular and orbital cancers, blind and painful eyes, and other diseases sometimes lead to the need for reconstruction of the orbit (eye socket). Also orbital implant called (enucleation). • The false eye is designed after taking moldings of the patient’s orbital tissues and eyelids, such that, the prosthesis fits nicely and comfortably. • The BIONIC EYE implants are of porous polyethylene, (Medpor), and of aluminum oxide, (Bioceramic) or hydroxyapatite, kryolite glass or acrylic materials. • After implant they allow blood vessels to grow in them. • Usually there is a significant build-up of salt and protein deposits on the eye in one year's time. Polishing removes these potentially irritating deposits. • Artificial drops are added to desilt eye. • After orbital implant, it is difficult for the casual observer to distinguish the natural eye from the implant. • Currently camera of 100*100 pixels has been implemented. 5

  • 8. Nano Vision Chip System: • Age related retinal diseases like macular dysfunction, retinitis pigmentosa can be averted using nano tubes. • Normally, when light rays or images are focused by the lens of the eye onto the retina, light-sensitive cells called "rods" and "cones" convert the light into electrical impulses that travel to the brain and are interpreted as images of the world around us. "[The retina] actually does some of the image processing, and then sends this information to the brain, and so we see. The Nano Vision Chip System consists of 1. A low Power CMOS camera mounted on a spectacle. 2. A Image processing device 3. Transmission device 4. Signal conditioner 5. Electrode array 8
  • 9. CNT at Nano scale reduces background noise, magnifies signal and provides desired redundance. • Zinc oxide nano wires are used here to transfer the signal from the signal conditioner to the CNT array. • Nano batteries have long shelf life, predicted to last for 15-20 years. The NVCS working can be studied as two parts – Intraocular and Extra ocular Extraocular (Outside the Eye) • The Images are received by the CMOS camera • The microprocessor based image processor processes the images thus received. The processing may be either digital image processing or neural based image processing. • The signal so obtained is PWM encoded and modulated using ASK. 5) MEMS: (MEMS) based adaptive optics phoropter. When light enters the eye, nearly 127 million rods and cones, which are the photoreceptors in the retina, initiate a series of electrical signals so rapid that the images the eye receives appear to be continuously updated in a seamless process. A breakdown in this light-conversion process can lead to vision impairment or loss of sight. A new optical device, called the microelectromechanical systems– (MEMS-) based adaptive optics phoropter (MAOP), will greatly improve this process. It allows clinicians to integrate a computer- calculated measurement of eyesight with a patient’s response to the target image. Patients can immediately see how objects will look—and the clinician can adjust the prescription—before they are fitted for contacts or undergo surgery. As a result, patients will experience better vision correction outcomes, especially with custom contact lenses or laser refractive surgery. A microelectrode array developed for a retinal prosthesis device. The electrodes are embedded in silicone-based substrate polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). PDMS is a promising material for the microelectrode array, providing flexibility, robustness, and biocompatibility for long-term implantation. The array will serve as the interface between an electronic imaging system and the eye, providing electrical stimulation normally generated by the photoreceptors that convert visual signals to electrical signals transmitted to the optic 9

(b) Cross-section of an eight-electrode PDMS device shows conductive lead and electrode metallization contained between two layers of PDMS. Reinforcement ribs facilitate handling of the thin PDMS device. A tack hole is used to pin the device to the retina. The device is designed to be epiretinal; that is, it will be placed on the surface of the retina inside the eye. The implant will overlap the center of the eye’s visual field, which is the area affected in macular degeneration. Once implanted, a small camera attached to eyeglasses will capture a video signal that will be processed and transmitted inside the eye using a radio-frequency (rf) link. The rf link is composed of an external rf coil that will either be part of the eyeglass apparatus or will rest on the eyeball like a contact lens. Another rf coil inside the eye will pick up the signal and transmit it to electronics that will format the signal for stimulating the electrode array. The power for the circuitry, or microchip system, will be provided inductively through transcutaneous coupling. That is, a coil attached to a battery on the side of the eyeglasses will inductively generate power in a coil parallel to it under the skin. 10
