Fabrication of a Silicon “Proto-retina” Chip for Artificial Vision Application—An Experiment To Be Performed

Monday, February 24th, 2003

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION OF THE PROPOSED EXPERIMENT

The basis for this new model of the eye is that: a.) light is detected via spatial dimensionalities (”optical antennas”) and that, when realizing this, b.) the specific array of two sizes of retinal receptors that have evolved did so as a logical consequence of the distribution of wavelengths falling onto it resulting from what has been termed, the “longitudinal chromatic aberration” of the lens and optical refraction properties of the eye. Everything is contained in those two statements that explain so much about vision! [… More»]
