Color-Blind Monkeys Get Full Color Vision Gene therapy can transform the visual system, even in adults. Researchers adapt an algal protein to reengineer sight into a broken visual circuit. Superdense arrays of electrodes will bring scientists closer to an artificial retina that approximates normal vision. Why can bats fly when mice can't? Not resting on his laureate, new Nobel Prize winner Mario Capecchi is striving to answer that question. For millions with eye damage, a new artificial cornea could prove a safer, more effective treatment. Detecting the Danger Signs of Glaucoma A tiny implant that measures pressure in the eye could help monitor the disease. An Alternative to the Computer Mouse A user interface that tracks eye movement may provide an alternate way to use a computer. Biologically Inspired Vision Systems A computer model of the brain has learned to detect and classify objects. Next-Generation Retinal Implant Scientists plan to test an implanted chip with four times the resolution of the previous version in people blinded by retinal degeneration. While hearing in machines lags far behind vision in machines, the potential is great, and researchers are beginning to make impressive progress. [1]
