INCREASED KNOWLEDGE & TECHNOLOGY
"Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Daniel.12:4

A blind man can read large letters and navigate around big objects by using a tiny camera wired directly to his brain, the first artificial eye to provide useful vision. A research report says the 62-year-old man doesn't see an image. He perceives up to 100 specks of light that appear and disappear, like stars that come and go behind passing clouds, as his field of vision shifts.

But as he showed a reporter last week, that's enough to let him find a mannequin in a room, walk to a black stocking cap hanging on a white wall, and then return to the mannequin and put the cap on its head. He can recognize a five-centimeter-tall letter from 1.5 meters away, said researcher William Dobelle.

The man, who asked to be identified only as Jerry, has been blind for 25 years. He volunteered for the study and underwent the brain implant in 1978; scientists have been working since then to improve the software.
