Brain Implants Could Restore Vision to the Blind Within a Year

The technology aims to implant the first vision devices within 6 to 12 months, writing directly to the visual cortex to enable perception. The long-term pitch goes beyond restoring natural sight, proposing ultra-HD resolution and entirely new senses like infrared, ultraviolet, and radar.
