  • I know the camera guy, Rob! (well, not personally, but we're friends on Facebook) About the MEA, even if it was only 96 BW pixels, I believe it would be enough to give the color image from my good eye a depth perception. Also, the coolest thing about using a camera for vision is that it would be sensitive to IR/UV! It's…
  • @ThomasEgi that's my concern... I don't know enough about the magnets to trust them! I kept checking the other threads and found out that @BrandonKing once used the 0.7x1.0 magnets with his method (the 30c ones that SMM still sells), so I'm just gonna buy a bunch of those and try it out. However, I already contacted sales…
  • Yeah, the ones with gold instead of nickel. AFAIK they're 14k yellow gold coated, and I'm not allergic, but I'd rather try the parylene first as there are more documented successful procedures. Also if Cassox doesn't trust it, I believe I shouldn't either. Actually contacting SuperMagnetMan never crossed my mind... silly…
  • @BrandonKing: I found injectors for about $10 USD, I'm gonna buy a couple to start tinkering around. As @kjwx said, I can simply toss away the chip. But another thing, I can't seem to find the 2x7 parylene coated magnets on SuperMagnetMan's website! The link that's around the site returns a "Product does not exist" page...…
  • @BrandonKing I had been thinking about an injection method, hypothetically like you, and searching around I found out you had done it. My idea was pretty much the same method you used. Good to know that it worked out. I'm now more decided to put mine in like that, even considering depth is harder to get right. Just a…
  • As far as I know the nerve is intact, although it has retracted somewhat. I guess MEA is the most feasible way, at least as long as I can get my hands on the array itself, as you mention. Oh, and of course, getting the electrode into my nerve. I'm gonna take a look at the papers you mention,and I'm sure I'm gonna spend a…
