Report, Artificial Retina Project: Electromagnetic and Thermal Effects.

DE141150817

Publication Date	2014
Personal Author	Cole, D. A.; Lazzi, G.
Page Count	6
Abstract	This award supported the investigation on electromagnetic and thermal effects associated with the artificial retina, designed in collaboration with national laboratories, universities, and private companies. Our work over the two years of support under this award has focused mainly on (1) Design of new telemetry coils for optimal power and data transfer between the implant and the external device while achieving a significant size reduction with respect to currently used coils; (2) feasibility study of the virtual electrode configuration (3) study the effect of pulse shape and duration on the stimulation efficacy.
