摘要：

A visual prosthesis based on electrical stimulation of the visual cortex with an array of penetrating electrodes is expected to produce pixelized visual images consisting of punctate spots of light (phosphenes). We measured reading speed in subjects viewing text with optically simulated phosphene fields in order to obtain estimates of the following design parameters for such an electrode array: pixel number, pixel spacing, and visual-field size. Comparisons were made between scanning the text with eye movements and scanning the text with head movements. The results indicate that a 25 X 25 array of pixels representing four letters of text projected on a foveal visual field of 1.7-degrees is sufficient to provide reading rates near 170 words/min with scrolled text and near 100 words/min with fixed text.
