Automatic Identification of Axon Bundle Activation for Epiretinal Prosthesis

Conclusion: This works presents a simple, accurate and efficient algorithm to detect axon bundle activation in epiretinal prostheses. Significance: The algorithm could be used in a closed-loop manner by a future epiretinal prosthesis to reduce poorly controlled visual percepts associated with bundle activation. Activation of distant cells via axonal stimulation will likely occur in other types of retinal implants and cortical implants, and the method may therefore be broadly applicable.
