The design of our artificial retina system is based on knowledge acquired in our unique laboratory setting. The Chichilnisky lab has spent many years studying how light stimuli are encoded by neural circuitry in the healthy retina, specifically, the non-human primate retina, which resembles the human retina much more closely than other animal models. Our goal is to use the information we and others have gathered to build an advanced retinal implant that can produce a naturalistic visual signal. Our main focus is on ganglion cells, the output neurons of the retina, which largely survive the retinal degeneration process. Ganglion cells generate visual representations of light inputs and transmit these encoded representations towards specific target areas in the brain. The human retina contains around 1 million ganglion cells, and all visual experiences ultimately arise from the signals transmitted by these cells. By first learning how patterns of activity in many ganglion cells represent
