Book Synopsis My Brain Implant for Bionic Vision by : Richard B McDonald
Book excerpt: This book tells the true and amazing story of being a participant in the first trial of a brain implant for bionic vision. Blind for 13 years, the author relays why he volunteered in 2018 for the experiment. Discussed are the grueling process of qualifying to be accepted into the trial and the stunning nature of this real bionic technology. Detailed descriptions of the resulting synthetic vision are given. Also described are the amazing "bionic laboratory" and the process of learning to see again with bionic eyesight. The book also discusses the tricky ethical considerations about bionics and the increasing merging of humans with machines. It concludes with what the future holds for bionic vision.
