摘要：

Arrays of stimulating electrodes can be placed in the brain itself, in the visual cortex, to bring vision to the profoundly blind. However, the visual pathway maps images onto cortical structures in a complex and unpredictable way. At present, further efforts are being carried out to simplify this concept.
