After a bit of drama behind the scenes (of the interview - it's meta drama!👻), our interview with Dr. Brian Burg is back up! How did it come to the acquisition of Pixium-Vision by Science Corporation? What will happen to the existing PRIMA patients? ➡️bionic-vision.org/research-spotl…

If you’re at VSS this week, come see my poster with Bionic Vision Lab today at Banyan Breezeway! VSS Meeting #VSS2024

If you are at vss and want to learn about stimulus-selective activities in v1 of a blind human, or if you want to support my first talk on a big conference make sure to stop by talk room one at 3:45 today! #vss2024 #blind

Exciting news 99% confirmed by the VSS Meeting President: History has been made at #VSS2024! 🚀✨ Lucas Gil Nadolskis proudly took the stage as the first #blind researcher to present at VSS, detailing our Cortivis work on stimulus-selective activity in human V1 Equality In Science

Not a bad place to revisit Jacob Granley / Michael Beyeler’s HILO for visual prosthesis’ stimulus encoding paper 👌 shorturl.at/zRSoR

The Fall Vision Meeting is going to the UK! Join us Oct 3-6 in York, with invited sessions on: - The visual ecology of colour and light - Visual prosthetics - Focusing on the human fovea - Machine learning & AI approaches to retinal diagnostics Abstract submission is now open!

Bionic vision goes to the UK: Hear about current and next-gen #BionicEye technology from: - Dan Adams Neuralink - Eduardo Fernandez Instituto de Bioingeniería - Xing Chen Pitt Ophthalmology Research - Yağmur Güçlütürk Radboud University @[email protected] Oct 3-6 in York UK: osafallvisionmeeting.org/2024-meeting/p…

I'm thrilled to announce the first PhD graduates from the Bionic Vision Lab: - Justin Kasowski (DYNS): Founder & CEO at RealmVR - Aiwen Xu (UCSB Computer Science Department): Joining Snowflake this summer It's been a pleasure working with you, and I can't wait to see your future achievements!

It's a joy to see our talented students recognized. This year, 3 students from the Bionic Vision Lab earned departmental & college-wide awards UC Santa Barbara: Galen Pogoncheff: Outstanding TA Award, UCSB Computer Science Department Galen is working on AI alignment & is currently interning with Reality Labs at Meta

Tori LeVier Tori LeVier: - Colville-Dearborn Memorial Award, College of Letters & Science - Morgan Award for Research Promise, UCSB Psychological and Brain Sciences Tori's a force of nature & we'll miss her dearly!! Can't wait to see all the things she'll achieve in M.J. Crockett's lab Psychology@Princeton

Ivy Wang: Outstanding Senior Award, UC Santa Barbara's College of Engineering Academia (like this post) often highlights our successes, but we must remember the struggles behind them. Ivy exemplifies the grit & perseverance needed to push through adversity as she earned Distinction in the Major UCSB Computer Science Department

Yuchen Hou presenting at EMBC '24 in Orlando, FL (IEEE Engineering Medicine and Biology Society IEEE): We introduce two models that can predict phosphene fading & persistence under varying stimulus conditions, cross-validated on behavioral data reported by 9 Argus II users.
