- A world-first device to restore vision to the blind is being prepared for human clinical trials in Melbourne.
- Additional funding can help researchers establish an implantable device manufacturing facility to support the commencement of this clinical trial.
- It will also support further life-saving research into brain-controlled prosthetics.
- This project, more than 10 years in the making, will boost local manufacturing and may help treat other conditions, such as limb paralysis.
- A revolutionary cortical vision device, developed by Monash University researchers that could one day help restore vision to the blind, is being prepared for world-first human clinical trials in Melbourne.
