In this episode of the Charles Bonnet Syndrome podcast, host Shaimond interviews Dr. Phil Troyk, a professor and leading research innovator in the field of biomedical engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Dr. Troyk discusses the FDA-approved Intracortical Visual Prosthesis (ICVP) project, which aims to help blind individuals perceive artificial vision by bypassing the eyes and optic nerve, directly stimulating the brain's vision centers through wireless implants. The conversation covers the history of the project, its technological advancements, participant recruitment, and the future potential of this groundbreaking research.
Dr. Troyk and his team are actively recruiting participants for this Intracortical Visual Prosthesis (ICVP) project. If you or someone you know are interested in participating, email [email protected]
