FITTING A NEURAL PROSTHESIS USING IMPEDANCE AND ELECTRODE HEIGHT

摘要

A system and method for determining proper placement of a retinal stimulation electrode array. The system includes means for placing an electrode array in proximity of a retina, a meter for measuring impedance of at least one electrode in the electrode array and a display displaying the impedance to aid a clinician in determining, by the impedance, the proper placement of the electrode array for optimal stimulation of the perception of vision, wherein higher impedance indicates preferable placement.
