The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2016 IEEE. Optogenetics, a gene therapy technique for photosensitizing nerve tissue, is rapidly moving from the scientific domain towards clinical practice. The first human application of this technology has been in retinal prosthesis, with a headset illuminating a newly photosensitized layer in a dysfunctional retinae. This research paper explores a new type of high radiance optical stimulation array which can sense the position of the eye and thus compensate for eye movement. The array, compatible with optoelectronic retinal prosthesis headsets is designed on AMS 0.35μm CMOS technology which can drive our previously described 90×90 CMOS-Gallium Nitride micro-LED arrays.
