TL;DR
In an approach to visual processing known as learning from examples, computational neural networks and physiological studies suggest how neurons and machines adapt to novel images on the basis of past experience.
Abstract
The mind cannot make sense of the visual world out of raw image data alone. In an approach to visual processing known as learning from examples, computational neural networks and physiological studies suggest how neurons and machines adapt to novel images on the basis of past experience.

This paper shows that regularization networks encompass a much broader range of approximation schemes, including many of the popular general additive models and some of the neural networks, and introduces new classes of smoothness functionals that lead to different classes of basis functions.
The Journal of PhysiologyThe sensations produced by electrical stimulation of the visual cortex
1,173 Citations1968G. S. Brindley, W S Lewin
An array of radio receivers connected to electrodes in contact with the occipital pole of the right cerebral hemisphere has been implanted into a 52‐year‐old blind patient and by giving appropriate radio signals, the patient can be caused to experience sensations of light in the left half of the visual field.
IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II Analog and Digital Signal ProcessingThe CNN universal machine: an analogic array computer
970 Citations1993T. Roska, Leon O. Chua
The CNN universal machine is described, emphasizing its programmability as well as global and distributed analog memory and logic, high throughput via electromagnetic waves, and complex cells that may be used also for simulating a broad class of PDEs.
Archives of OphthalmologyVisual Perception Elicited by Electrical Stimulation of Retina in Blind Humans
608 Citations1996Mark S. Humayun
Evaluating the feasibility of bypassing damaged photoreceptors and electrically stimulating the remaining viable retinal layers to provide limited visual input to patients who are blind because of severe photoreceptor degeneration results in focal light perception that seems to arise from the stimulated area.
The Journal of PhysiologyPhosphenes produced by electrical stimulation of human occipital cortex, and their application to the development of a prosthesis for the blind
474 Citations1974Wm. H. Dobelle, M. G. Mladejovsky
To explore the feasibility of a visual prosthesis for the blind, human visual cortex has been stimulated during a series of surgical procedures on conscious volunteers undergoing other occipital lobe surgery.
Annals of Biomedical EngineeringA glass/silicon composite intracortical electrode array
355 Citations1992K.E. Jones, Patrick K. Campbell +1 more
The manufacturing techniques used to create the electrode arrays, focusing on the dielectric isolation technique, are described, and the electrical and mechanical characteristics of these arrays are discussed.
Annals of Biomedical EngineeringA method for pneumatically inserting an array of penetrating electrodes into cortical tissue
314 Citations1992P.J. Rousche, Richard A. Normann
It was found that insertion of these structures into cortical tissues could only be performed using high insertion speeds, and a minimum array insertion speed of 8.3 m/s was necessary for a complete, safe insertion of all 100 electrodes in the array to a depth of 1.5 mm into feline cortex.
Annals of Biomedical EngineeringSimulation of a phosphene-based visual field: Visual acuity in a pixelized vision system
196 Citations1992Kichul Cha, Kenneth Horch +1 more
It is concluded that 625 electrodes implanted in a 1 cm by 1 cm area near the foveal representation of the visual cortex should produce a phosphene image with a visual acuity of approximately 20/30, which could provide useful restoration of functional vision for the profoundly blind.

146 Citations1988Ross Beauchamp
The clarity of writing and illustration that made The Retina a book of choice for a quarter century among graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, vision researchers, and teachers of upper-level courses on vision is retained in Dowling's new easy-to-read Revised Edition.
