ABSTRACT:
A method for training a visual prosthesis includes presenting a non-visual reference stimulus corresponding to a reference image to a visual prosthesis patient. The visual prosthesis including a plurality of electrodes. Training data sets are generated by presenting a series of stimulation patterns to the patient through the visual prosthesis. Each stimulation pattern in the series, after the first, is determined at least in part on a previous subjective patient selection of a preferred stimulation pattern among stimulation patterns previously presented in the series and a fitness function optimization algorithm. The presented stimulation patterns and the selections of the patient are stored and presented to a neural network off-line to determine a vision solution.
