SysRetPro: SYStems neuroscience in service of the next-generation RETinal PROsthesis

SysRetPro uses linear systems analysis and explicit (visual and electrical) stimulus-response models to better understand how both light and electrical stimulation are encoded by the mouse retina. These models are used to improve the visual experiences of retinal implant patients. By altering the functioning of retinal implants to generate more natural spike patterns for the brain, we seek to perfect the simulated visual world of bionic vision recipients.
