    An advantage of the former method is that it allows for visual signal encoding to improve via processing algorithms that recall prior choices of adjustable features (Luo and Cruz 2014, 40). The Argus II Visual Prosthesis System, which was approved in Europe in 2011 and received FDA approval in 2013, uses a glasses-mounted camera to capture image data that is processed by a portable computer and converted into electrical patterns (Lorach et al. 2014). These signals are wirelessly sent to an array composed of sixty microelectrodes placed in the macular region of the retina via an external coil located on the side arm of the glasses. A coil in the implant receives radiofrequency waves from the external coil and converts them back into electrical signals. After these signals – which essentially are data and power – are received, an internal circuit produces electrical pulses for microelectrode stimulation (Luo and Cruz 2014,…
