Resumo

In this article, the authors report on a retinal prosthesis smart stimulator that is biocompatible and fully compatible with a standard large-scale-integration (LSI) structure and that provides high-stimulation efficiency. Our stimulator is based on multimicrochip architecture. The stimulator has been specifically developed for retinal prostheses, but it could be applied to other neuroscience and clinical neuroengineering fields
