Elon Musk's recent announcement about the development of Neuralink's Blindsight, a brain implant to restore vision, has a big problem: neurons in the brain aren't like pixels on a screen.
Researchers who have studied this method say that restoring sight is not simply an engineering problem. Predicting what kind of vision a device will provide requires knowing how the technology interfaces with the individual neurons that get activated in the human brain.
