Projectdetails

Omschrijving in begrijpelijke taal

NESTOR is a 4-year programme, funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek, NWO).
Our goal is to develop a neuroprosthesis that interfaces with the brain, allowing the generation of artificial visual percepts even when there is extensive damage to the eye or the optic nerve.

Belangrijkste bevindingen

What we do:

We are creating the world’s first large-scale, chronically implanted, wireless device that imparts visual percepts directly to the visual cortex, through the translation of fundamental neuroscience insights into clinical applications.

Who we are:

Our consortium brings together leading academic and industry partners across the fields of neuroengineering, brain imaging, computer modelling, virtual reality, wireless communications and power, and clinical neuroscience.

Funding sources:

Our initiative is funded by a Dutch STW Perspectief grant. The STW is part of the Dutch Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and receives funding from organisations such as the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

Our projects:

NESTOR encompasses the following research areas: mapping out the anatomy of the visual cortex; developing powerful new techniques for image processing and microstimulation; and creating innovative, implantable electrode and wireless technology.
