• Resumen

  • This article focuses on the development of neuromorphic microchips with the ability to restore vision. Kareem Zaghloul morphed all five layers of the retina in 2001 when he was a doctoral student in the lab, making it possible to emulate the visual messages that the ganglion cells, the retina's output neurons, send to the brain. In 2001 Brian Taba, a doctoral student in my lab, built a chip modeled on this facet of the brain's developmental process.
