The vOICe vision BCI depends on third-party academic studies as well as on blind end users for establishing credibility and demonstrating functional benefit. There is no funding for clinical studies tied to the project itself. In other words, we need you! https://www.artificialvision.com/BCI.html
Remember that implantable visual prostheses also require months of training and rehabilitation. Moreover, implantable visual prostheses introduce surgical, maintenance, replacement, and obsolescence considerations that software-based sensory substitution can largely avoid.
