Australia has an unmatched reputation as a world leader in neuroprostheses. Most notable of these is the bionic ear and, more recently, leading edge research towards a bionic eye. This project will combine the research strengths and experiences from both the hearing and visual bionics fields to address the main obstacles that prevent the number of electrical stimulation channels (equating to the number of frequencies heard by the deaf, and the number of spots of light seen by the blind) from increasing. The study will improve our understanding of the electrode-tissue interface, the life-long implantablity, and electrical circuitry that will allow future bionic devices to significantly improve their performance.

澳大利亚作为世界神经假体的领导者享有无与伦比的声誉。其中最值得注意的是仿生耳朵，以及最近对仿生眼睛的前沿研究。该项目将联合收割机结合听觉和视觉仿生学领域的研究优势和经验，以解决阻碍电刺激通道数量（相当于聋人听到的频率数量和盲人看到的光点数量）增加的主要障碍。这项研究将提高我们对电极-组织界面，终身可重复性和电路的理解，这将使未来的仿生设备显着提高其性能。
