@news.830: Elon Musk says Neuralink’s Blindsight project could soon move toward human trials to help people with severe vision loss. The experimental brain implant aims to restore some visual perception by stimulating the brain directly. Unlike conventional treatments, Blindsight is designed to bypass damaged eyes or optic nerves and transmit visual information to the brain. Its goal is to help people who are completely blind perceive visual patterns. Early versions may produce only basic visual sensations rather than natural, detailed vision. The quality of any restored vision will depend on the technology’s capabilities and clinical results. Blindsight remains experimental, and human testing must establish its safety and effectiveness. If successful, the technology could open new possibilities for restoring visual perception in people with certain forms of blindness.
