Abstract:
The present invention is an improved method of electrically stimulating percepts in a patient with a visual prosthesis, to induce the perception of color. In particular, the present invention is a method of inducing the perception of color by determining experimentally which patterns induce which colors, storing that information and using the stored information to induce the perception of color according to video input data and the stored color information.
