ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a microcontact structure for epiretinal or cortical contacting of nerve tissue for a vision prosthesis in mammals or human beings. Due to the fact that the thickness of the surface of the microcontacts (2) is not constant along the surface of the microcontact structure, the resolution can be adapted to physiological requirements.
