Please note that we have a new site: LifeScienceHistory.com, "Where history is made daily" under development and
delayed by COVID-19, to be launched in 2023 replacing New YorkLifeScience.com. Regrettably, we are working with reduced
staffing and the current industry directory is no longer being maintained, but will be replaced with a new and improved
directory upon the launch of the new site. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Bionic Sight LLC
| Bionic Sight LLC 450 E. 63rd Street Suite 4E New York, NY 10065 | |
| | Phone: | (917) 842-5027 | Year Established: | 2013 | Employees: | 5 | Main Contact: | Sheila Nirenburg, Founder & CEO | | Company Description | Bionic Sight is an early stage medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of prosthetic treatments for blindness due to retinal degenerative disease. A key differentiating feature of the Bionic Sight device is the use of the retinal code deciphered by its scientific founder, Dr. Sheila Nirenberg, a MacArthur Genius Award recipient and professor of computational neuroscience at the Weil Cornell Medical College. Dr. Nirenberg's advancements in retinal coding can convert visual images into similar patterns of action potential that the retina normally produces and can do so across a broad range of stimuli including faces, landscapes and movement, essentially replicating patterns in a code the brain is expecting and can recognize. As such, Dr. Nirenberg's approach has the potential to increase prosthetic performance well beyond what can be achieved just by increasing resolution with the goal of bringing prosthetic capabilities up to the level of near normal image representation. | |
