FDA Greenlights AI ✅
Neuralink’s Blindsight: A New Era for Vision Restoration
Neuralink's Blindsight has received the FDA’s Breakthrough Device Designation, marking a pivotal moment in neurotechnology. This brain implant aims to restore vision by bypassing damaged visual pathways and interfacing directly with the visual cortex. Even for those who have lost both eyes and optic nerves, Blindsight offers the possibility of low-resolution vision—with the potential to enhance to infrared and ultraviolet vision over time.
