Enter the ‘remarkable
cochlear implant, not a sim-
ple hearing aid but rather a
surgically implanted artifi-
cial ear, a controversial de-
vice that has turned the
hearing-impaired world on
its ear. Composed of a mi-
crophone and a speech-pro-
cessing computer, this im-
plant has a flexible elec-
trode, shaped like a mon-

key tail. This allows it to.

coil up inside of the nau-
tilussshaped cochlea and
stimulate the acoustic
nerve.

Epic Bionics of Victoria
BC is currently devising a
chip that is an anorexic
2mm wide and can be com-
pletely implanted under the
skin, leaving no evidence of
any kind of hearing impair-
ment. This tiny microchip is

the days of the mainframe

VISION

Macular degeneration af-
flicts 3/4 of a million Ameri-
cans annually. This most
common cause of blindness
in the developed-world oc-
curs as the light receptors
in the back of the eye (the
retina) degenerate. By im-
planting a computer in the
retina, and sending images
to it by means. of camera
glasses the optic nerve can
also be stimulated to pro-
duce images to the brain.

While still-in its infancy
(experts agree that another
10-15 years are required to
perfect this), this exciting
field of visual neurostimula-
tion and retinal chips is at-
